Biological Activity

Description

IGF-I/IGF-1 Protein, Mouse (His) is a mitogenic cytokine, binds to IGF type 1 receptor, and modulates growth in many tissues, such as nervous tissue, lymphoid tissue, reproductive tissue, smooth muscle, endothelium, and bone. IGF1 also mediates neuroprotective mechanism.

Background

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system has been shown to modulate growth in many tissues, such as nervous tissue, lymphoid tissue, reproductive tissue, smooth muscle, endothelium, and bone. Insulin-like Growth factor-1 (IGF-I) is produced by osteoblasts, and its mitogenic effects are mediated by their binding to the IGF plasma membrane receptors. The IGF type 1 receptor binding to both IGF-I and IGF-II, is thought to be the predominate receptor involved in mediating the effects of these growth factors in most cell types, including osteoblasts[1]. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a neurotrophic factor capable of mediating neuroprotective and neuroplasticity mechanisms. Targeted overexpression of IGF-1 enhances the generation of hippocampal newborn neurons in brain-injured mice[2].

Verified Bioactivity

Measured in a serum-free cell proliferation assay using MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. The ED50 for this effect is 43.96 ng/mL. corresponding to a specific activity is 2.27×104 units/mg.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM NaAc, pH 4.5.

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.
