SpecificityThe specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB and IHC against the antigen. Human; rat; predicted to react with mouse due to sequence homology;
Species ReactivityHuman, Mouse (Predicted), Rat
Immunogen DescriptionA synthetic peptide (CPDYVSAGENSCYFNSS) corresponding to a region (101-117) from human Growth Hormone receptor. To enhance the immunological response, this peptide was coupled to carrier protein BSA.
ConjugateUnconjugated
Purity DescriptionAffinity purified on antigen column
Application DetailsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 0.75 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human Growth Hormone receptor (isoform GHRfl) has a predicted length of 638 residues and MW of 72 kDa. A concentration of 1.0-2.0 µg/mL is recommended to detect the protein in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues. Antigen retrieval is required. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Scientific BackgroundGrowth Hormone receptor (GRH) is a single-pass type I membrane protein and a receptor for pituitary gland growth hormone. The binding of growth hormone to the receptor leads to the dimerization of the receptor and the activation of signal transduction pathways leading to growth. At least 4 isoforms are produced by alternative splicing.
