Description
Placental Lactogen Human Recombinant, is a single polypeptide chain containing 199 amino acids and an additional Ala at the N-terminus having a molecular mass of approximately 22.4 kDa. Placental Lactogen Recombinant is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms
Chorionic Somatomammotropin Hormone 1, CSH1, Choriomammotropin, Lactogen, CSH2, PL, CSA, CSMT, FLJ75407.
Introduction
Placental Lactogen is a polypeptide hormone that is produced by the Syncytiotrophoblasts of the Placenta, also known as chorionic somatomammotropin. It has both GH and Prolactin activities on growth, lactation, and luteal steroid production. In women, placental lactogen secretion begins soon after implantation and increases to 1 g or more a day in late pregnancy. Placental lactogen is also an ins. antagonist. Placental Lactogen Bovine is also capable of activating human and other heterologous GH receptors but not ruminat GH receptors.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.02-0.03% NaHCO3.
Stability
Lyophilized Placental Lactogen Human Recombinant although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Placental Lactogen 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.
Purity
Greater than 99.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by Gel Filtration. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
Placental Lactogen Human is biologically active as evidenced by inducing proliferation of Nb2 cells.
Amino acid sequence
The sequence of the first 6 N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Val-Gln-Thr-Val-Pro.
Usage
Mabioway's Co., Ltd products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
Background

Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Placental Lactogen in sterile water or 0.4% NaHCO3 adjusted to pH 8-9, not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions, preferably in presence of carrier protein.
