Description
| Product Name: | hCG Protein Recombinant Protein |
| Product Code: | RPPB1331 |
| Size: | 5mg |
| Target: | hCG Protein |
| Synonyms: | Chorionic gonadotropin, hCG, CG. |
| Source: | Urine of pregnant women |
| Physical Appearance: | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation: | The hCG was lyophilized with no additives. |
| Solubility: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in sterile 18M?-cm H2O not less than 100 �g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability: | Lyophilized hCG although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CG-beta should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Biological Activity: | The activity was found to be 5197IU/mg. |
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a peptide hormone produced in pregnancy, that is made by the embryosoon after conception and later by the syncytiotrophoblast(part of the placenta). Its role is to prevent the disintegration of the corpus luteumof the ovaryand thereby maintain progesterone production that is critical for a pregnancy in humans. hCG may have additional functions, for instance it is thought that it affects the immune tolerance of the pregnancy. Early pregnancy testing generally is based on the detection or measurement of hCG.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is produced from a sterile preparation of placental glucoprotein urine of pregnant women having a total molecular mass of 36,700 Dalton. The hCG consists of 237 amino acids, a chain-92 amino acids and b chain-145 amino acids. The hCG is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
