Recombinant protein corresponding to Ser20-Ile138 of canine TSHb, expressed in E. coli.
Thyrotropin-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a noncovalently linked glycoprotein heterodimer and is part of a family of pituitary hormones containing a common alpha subunit (TSHA) and a unique beta subunit that confers specificity.Using bovine TSHB cDNA as probe, Hayashizaki et al. (1985) cloned TSHB from human liver and leukocyte genomic DNA libraries. Human TSHB encodes a deduced protein consisting of a 20aa signal sequence, a mature protein of 112aa, and a C-terminal extension of 6 hydrophobic aa. Wondisford et al. (1988) also cloned the human TSHB gene.Wondisford et al. (1988) determined that the TSHB gene contains 3 exons, the first of which is noncoding. The rat TSHB gene also contains one 5-prime noncoding exon, whereas the mouse Tshb gene contains 3. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:100-1:5000 Western Blot: 1:50-400 Immunohistochemistry (frozen): 1:50-500 Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 1:10-100 Immunocytochemistry: 1:50-500 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
