Description

Gonadotropin Ii Alpha Subunit, Catfish is a purified protein subunit critical for reproductive endocrine function in teleost fish. This high-purity biochemical is essential for research and development in aquaculture and comparative endocrinology, enabling precise studies on fish reproduction, growth, and development. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, biotechnology companies, and aquaculture breeding facilities focused on advancing reproductive technologies and hormone-based studies.

Application

• Aquaculture Research & Breeding Programs: Fundamental reagent for studying the reproductive biology and hormonal control of ovulation and spermatogenesis in catfish and related species.
• Comparative Endocrinology Studies: Used as a model protein in research investigating the evolution and function of gonadotropin hormones across different vertebrate species.
• Immunoassay Development: Serves as a key antigen or standard for developing and validating specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and radioimmunoassays (RIA) for fish gonadotropins.
• Biopharmaceutical Precursor Research: Investigated for potential applications in developing therapeutic agents or fertility treatments for commercially valuable fish species.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Critical component for university and government lab studies focused on piscine endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, and environmental impact assessments on reproduction.

Quality Control

Our Gonadotropin Ii Alpha Subunit, Catfish is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and biological activity. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques, including HPLC and mass spectrometry, to confirm identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, bioactivity, and analytical results is provided with every shipment to support your research integrity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake. For extended storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
