Biological Activity
Discription
Levonorgestrelis a synthetic progesterone analog; binds to the progesterone receptor (relative binding affinities are < 0.02, 7.5, 17, 58 and 323 % for estrogen receptors, glucocorticoid receptors, mineralocorticoid receptors, androgen receptors and progesterone receptors respectively).
Store lyophilized at -20ºC, keep desiccated. In lyophilized form, the chemical is stable for 36 months. In solution, store at -20ºC and use within 3 months to prevent loss of potency. Aliquot to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
Solubility
