Description

Salmon Growth Hormone Type Ii is a recombinant protein hormone specifically engineered for advanced aquaculture and research applications. This high-purity peptide plays a critical role in regulating growth, metabolism, and osmoregulation in teleost fish. It is an essential tool for aquaculture professionals and life science researchers seeking to enhance growth rates, feed efficiency, and overall fish health. The product is supplied as a lyophilized powder, ensuring stability and ease of reconstitution for precise dosing.

Application

• Aquaculture Growth Promotion: Primary application for stimulating accelerated and efficient growth in farmed salmonids (e.g., salmon, trout) to improve production yields.
• Research & Development: Used in physiological and endocrinological studies to understand growth regulation, metabolism, and developmental biology in fish species.
• Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Precursor: Serves as a key intermediate or reference standard in the development of veterinary pharmaceuticals and advanced feed additives.
• Selective Breeding Programs: Employed as a biomarker or treatment to assess growth potential and select superior genetic lines in aquaculture stock.
• Metabolic Studies: Investigation of its effects on protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and carbohydrate utilization in aquatic organisms.
• Osmoregulation Research: Study of hormone involvement in saltwater adaptation and ion balance in migratory fish species.

Quality Control

Our Salmon Growth Hormone Type Ii is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to a comprehensive suite of analytical tests to ensure identity, purity, potency, and biological activity. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, which includes data from SDS-PAGE, HPLC, and bioassay results. Production adheres to relevant guidelines for recombinant protein production, ensuring consistency and reliability for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term storage, keep the lyophilized powder at -20°C or below. Upon reconstitution, aliquot and store at -80°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the vial is equilibrated to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
