Biological Activity

Description

IGFBP2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is a member of the family of high-affinity binding proteins (IGFBP1-6) and appears to play a governing role in Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) regulation in the central nervous system.

Background

Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 2 (IGFBP2) is a member of the family of high-affinity binding proteins (IGFBP1-6) and appears to play a governing role in Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) regulation in the central nervous system[1]. Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Proteins (IGFBPs) modulate the actions of secreted insulin-like growth facts (IGFs) by binding to them and increase the IGF halflife in the extracellular milieu and circulation by sequestering them in this bound form. IGFBPs either enhance or inhibit IGF actions on target cells; the individual IGFBPs either inhibit or potentiate IGF effects on osteoblasts in bone[2].

Verified Bioactivity

1. The ED50 is <2 µg/mL as measured by FDC-P1 cells.
2. Measured by its ability to inhibit the biological activity of IGF-II on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.05-0.2 μg/ml in the presence of 14 ng/mL rhIGF-II.

MCE Validation Data

  • Purity - SDS-PAGE

    Purity - SDS-PAGE

    ≥ 95%, as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

  • Bioactivity - Cell-Based Assay

    Bioactivity - Cell-Based Assay

    Measured by its ability to inhibit the biological activity of IGF-II on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.1501 μg/mL in the presence of 14 ng/mL rhIGF-II, corresponding to a specific activity is 6.662×103 units/mg.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
