Rhesus macaque Growth Hormone R (GHR) Protein, Fc Tag

Source : 

Rhesus macaque GHR, Fc Tag (GHR-C5253) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Phe 19 – Tyr 264 (Accession # P79194-1).

Molecule : Growth Hormone R

Synonyms : GHR,GHBP,GH receptor

Format : Powder

Category : Bio-Markers & CD Antigens

Accession : NP_001036132.1

Shipping condition : Powder,RT

Molecular Weight : 54.7 kDa

Characteristics :

This protein carries a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 54.7 kDa. The protein migrates as 66-90 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

Endotoxin Level : Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.

Buffer : Tris with Glycine, Arginine and NaCl, pH7.5

Description :

Growth hormone receptor (GHR) is also known as somatotropin receptor, growth hormone-binding protein (GHBR), which belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family or Type 1 subfamily. GHR contains one fibronectin type-III domain. GHR / GHBR is expressed in various tissues with high expression in liver and skeletal muscle. The soluble form (GHBP) is produced by phorbol ester-promoted proteolytic cleavage at the cell surface (shedding) by ADAM17/TACE. GHR is receptor for pituitary gland growth hormone involved in regulating postnatal body growth. On ligand binding, couples to the JAK2/STAT5 pathway. The soluble form (GHBP) acts as a reservoir of growth hormone in plasma and may be a modulator/inhibitor of GH signaling.
