Biological Activity

Description

IGF-I/IGF-1 Protein is an insulin-like growth factor that possesses both growth-promoting and metabolic-regulating functions. IGF-I/IGF-1 Protein is also a neurotrophic factor with neuroprotective and neuroplasticity-regulating activities. IGF-I/IGF-1 Protein plays a key role in growth and development, cell proliferation, metabolic regulation and other aspects. IGF-I/IGF-1 Protein, Mouse is a recombinant IGF-I/IGF-1 protein expressed by E. coli without a tag[1][2].

Background

IGF system has been demonstrated to regulate the growth of numerous tissues, such as neural tissue, lymphoid tissue, reproductive tissue, smooth muscle, endothelium, and bone. IGF-I/IGF-1, a key growth factor involved in cell growth, differentiation, survival, and cell cycle regulation, is secreted by mature osteoblasts, stored in the bone matrix, and released during bone resorption. The mitogenic effect of IGF-I/IGF-1 is mediated through its binding to IGF plasma membrane receptors. IGF-I/IGF-1 can stimulate osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, and also promote neuronal survival[1][2].

In Vitro

IGF-I/IGF-1 Protein (Mouse; 1 ng/mL; 6 h) can promote the proliferation of thyroid epithelial cells in in vitro mouse thyroid tissues[3].
IGF-I/IGF-1 Protein (Mouse; 10 nM; 1 h) does not affect the level of PKCδ in H9C2 cells[4].

Verified Bioactivity

1.The ED50 is <10 ng/mL as measured by FDC-P1 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of >1 × 105 units/mg.
2.Measured in a serum-free cell proliferation assay using MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. The ED50 for this effect is ≤9.923 ng/mL. corresponding to a specific activity is ≥1.007×105 units/mg.

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.
