TriAltus’ recombinant human growth hormone (hGH) is used for a broad range of non-therapeutic research purposes. hGH is produced from E. coli in soluble form and purified using our CL7 tag technology. hGH is usually mostly insoluble, but the CL7 tag increases its solubility and avoids the need to purify from inclusion bodies.
