Biological Activity

Description

IGFBP-3 Protein, Human belongs to insulin-like growth factor-binding protein, prolongs the half-life of the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), inhibits interaction of IGFs with their cell surface receptors, and functions in cancer reduction.

Background

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[1]. Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein 3 (IGFBP3) is involved in prolonging the half-life of the IGFs (from 12 minutes to 12 hours), inhibits interaction of IGFs with their cell surface receptors, as well as, it is a circulating reservoir of IGFs. Moreover, IGFBP3 functions in cancer reduction, by both IGF-dependent and IGF-independent mechanisms. IGFBP3 has been shown to reduce the risk of breast cancer in high doses. A high concentration of IGFBP3 prevents IGF1:IGF1R interaction and blocks the IGF1R tyrosine kinase activity, resulting in the inhibition of the formation of intracellular signaling cascades[2].

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

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
