IGFBP-2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

IGFBP-2 protein, a member of the IGF-binding protein family, inhibits IGF-mediated growth and developmental rates. It can extend the half-life of IGF and exhibit dual functions by inhibiting or stimulating the growth-promoting effect of IGF in cell culture. IGFBP-2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived IGFBP-2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

IGFBP-2 protein, a member of the IGF-binding protein family, inhibits IGF-mediated growth and developmental rates. It can extend the half-life of IGF and exhibit dual functions by inhibiting or stimulating the growth-promoting effect of IGF in cell culture. IGFBP-2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived IGFBP-2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

IGFBP-2 protein acts as an inhibitor, specifically targeting IGF-mediated growth and developmental rates. As a member of the IGF-binding protein family, IGFBP-2 prolongs the half-life of IGFs and exhibits dual functionality, either inhibiting or stimulating the growth-promoting effects of IGFs in cell culture. This modulation occurs through the alteration of the interaction between IGFs and their cell surface receptors. Notably, IGFBP-2 demonstrates a higher binding affinity for IGF2 compared to IGF1, underscoring its role in finely regulating the intricate balance of IGF signaling pathways.

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by its ability to inhibit the biological activity of IGF-I on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.2342 µg/mL in the presence of 30 ng/mL IGF-I, corresponding to a specific activity is 4.269×103 units/mg.
