Description

IGF-I/IGF-1 Protein, Mouse is a mitogenic cytokine.

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].

Biological Activity

The ED50 is <10 ng/mL as measured by FDC-P1 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of >1 × 105 units/mg.

Molecular Weight

Approximately 7.8 kDa

Purity

Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized after extensive dialysis against PBS.

Endotoxin Level

<0.2 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. 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.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

  • Reconstitution Calculator

  • Dilution Calculator

  • Specific Activity Calculator

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
