Biological Activity

Description

IGFBP-4 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is a member of the insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP) family, binds to insulin-like growth factors, mediates IGF-independent biologic activities.

Background

The insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP) family consists of six different protein members (IGFBP1-6) that show high inhibition for IGF-1 and IGF-2. IGFBP-4 is a smallest member and modulates the biologic functions by binding to IGFs. Moreover, IGFBP-4 mediates IGF-independent biologic activities. IGFBP-4 inhibits colorectal cancer, breast cancer and glioblastoma cells growth. IGFBP-4 acts a crucial inflammatory mediator in the occurrence of severities acute respiratory distress syndrome, which is responsible for cancer proliferation, migration and apoptosis[1].

Verified Bioactivity

1.The ED50 is <50 ng/mL, measured in a bioassay using FDC-P1 cells in the presence of 15.0 ng/ml human IGF-II.
2. Measured by its ability to inhibit the biological activity of IGF-II on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.The ED50 is 0.03-0.18 μg/mL in the presence of 14 ng/mL rhIGF-II.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.2.

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.
