Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Human |
Background | Pregnant mares secrete the hormone from their endometrial cups between 40 and 130 days into their gestation, and once collected, it has been used to artificially induce estrus in female sheep, goats, cattle, and swine. Despite being less pure than pituitary extracts from sheep, goats or swine, PMSG tends to be used because of its longer circulatory half-life. In equids PMSG has only LH like activity, but in other species it has activity like both follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). |
Description | PMSG is a complex glycoprotein obtained from the serum of pregnant mares. This 43-63 kda protein is capable of supplementing and being substituted for the follicle stimulating and interstitial cell-stimulating hormone of the anterior pituitary gland in both the male and female. Thus PMSG-Intervet stimulates development of the ovarian follicle in the female. |
Source | Serum of pregnant mares. |
Formulation | PMSG is a Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Reconstitution | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized PMSG in sterile 18M-cm H2O at a concentration of 1000 IU/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Lyophilized PMSG although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored between 2-8°C. |
