Anti-Prothoracicotropic Hormone (PTTH)

PTTH is a brain secretory polypeptide of insects which stimulates the prothoracic glands to produce and release ecdysone, the steroid essential to insect development. Peptides P2K and P6K are presumed to be cleaved post-translationally and may play some unknown physiologically or developmentally important functions. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. 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.
