Product Description
The pituitary gland is a small endocrine gland which produces ａnd secretes various hormones vital to the regulation of various bodily functions. Hormones secreted by the pituitary stimulate ａnd control the functioning of almost all other endocrine glands as well as the growth ａnd water balance of the body. In vitro studies demonstrate that bovine pituitary extract （BPE） promote epithelial cell, endothelial cell ａnd melanocyte proliferation [1, 2, 3]. BPE has been widely used as an additional supplement in the culture of various epithelial cells ａnd melanocytes.
        BPE from ScienCell Research Laboratories is obtained from the extraction of fresh frozen bovine pituitary glands in saline solution. The pituitaries are collected in the contiguous 48 United States only from USDA inspected facilities where animals receive ante ａnd post mortem inspection. The pituitaries are found free of contagious diseases. The product is sterile filtered ａnd kept at -20°C.

Product Use
        BPE is for research use only. It is not approved for human or animal use, or for application in in vitro diagnostic procedures.

Storage  Store the BPE at -20°C until ready for use. Repeated freeze-thaws will reduce activity ａnd should be avoided by proper aliquoting.

Shipping  Dry ice.
