human growth hormone (hgh) genomic sequence containing 5 exons and 4 introns was cloned in pcdna-3 and the constructed plasmid was subsequently used for transfection ofnlli-3t3 cell line using lipofection technique. expression of hgh in stably transfected cells was assayed using elisa. total rna was extracted from transfected cells and hgh cdna was amplified by rt-pcr using specific primers. th...

the batch fermentation production of human growth hormone (hgh) was studied in a newrecombinant escherichia coli. the effect of different levels of dissolved oxygen and glucoseconcentration on cell density and substrate utilization were evaluated. the results indicated that theoptimum level of dissolved oxygen was 25% of air saturation. the specific growth rate reached amaximum for an optimal g...

a binding study of nickel ions by a new recombinant human growth hormone (hgh), produced as an injected drug, has been done at 27˚c in nacl solution (50 mm) using an isothermal titration calorimetry. there is a set of three identical and non-interacting binding sites for nickel ions. the intrinsic dissociation equilibrium constant and the molar enthalpy of binding are 40 μm and -16.5 kj/mol, re...

background the physiological link between ghrelin and growth hormone (gh) has not yet been fully clarified. furthermore, the existence of a negative feedback mechanism between growth hormone–insulin-like growth factor (gh–igf)-i axis and ghrelin and the influence of amino acids on ghrelin secretion in children remain matters of debate. objectives to understand the regulation of ghrelin secretio...

background: in the recent years, there has been an increasing interest in secretory production of recombinant proteins, due to its various advantages compared with intracellular expression. signal peptides play a critical role in prosperous secretion of recombinant proteins. accordingly, different signal peptides have been assessed for their ability to produce secretory proteins by trial-and-er...

for high-throughput production of recombinant protein in escherichia coli ( e. coli ), besides important parameters such as efficient vector with strong promoter and compatible host, other important issues including codon usage, rare codons, and gc content specially at n-terminal region should be considered. in the current study, the effect of decreasing the percentage of gc nucleotides and opt...

the interaction of hgh with some metal ions ( ) at 27°c in nac1 solution, 50 mm was studied using isothermal titration calorimetry. there is a set of three identical and non-interacting binding sites for binding of all these metal ions, expect . the intrinsic association equilibrium constants () are not very different for  and , and also their molar enthalpies of binding (kj/mol for  and  kj/mo...
