Description
The hFSH-β-(33-53) peptide is a synthetic fragment derived from the human follicle-stimulating hormone (hFSH) β-subunit. This peptide contains a free sulfhydryl group at Cys-51 but lacks the sequence similarity to the thioredoxin active center, which is present in other regions of the hFSH-β-subunit. Unlike hFSH-β-(81-95), which exhibits thioredoxin-like activity, hFSH-β-(33-53) does not demonstrate catalytic activity in reactivating reduced and denatured ribonuclease (RNase). The peptide corresponds to a receptor-binding domain of the hFSH-β-subunit, though its functional role remains distinct from redox-active regions.

About TFA salt
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a common counterion from the purification process using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of TFA can affect the peptide's net weight, appearance, and solubility.
Impact on Net Weight: The TFA salt contributes to the total mass of the product. In most cases, the peptide content constitutes >80% of the total weight, with TFA accounting for the remainder.
Solubility: TFA salts generally enhance the solubility of peptides in aqueous solutions.
In Biological Assays: For most standard in vitro assays, the residual TFA levels do not cause interference. However, for highly sensitive cellular or biochemical studies, please be aware of its presence.
