Description

IGFBP-6 protein modulates IGFs' activity, extending their half-life and exhibiting dual regulatory capacity.It activates the MAPK pathway, induces cell migration, and interacts with PHB2.These diverse functions emphasize IGFBP-6's multifaceted role in cellular responses related to growth regulation, signaling, and migration.IGFBP-6 Protein, Rat (HEK293, His) is the recombinant rat-derived IGFBP-6 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

IGFBP-6 protein assumes a crucial role in modulating the activity of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) by extending their half-life. Demonstrating a dual regulatory capacity in cell culture, IGFBP-6 can either inhibit or stimulate the growth-promoting effects of IGFs, reflecting its versatile influence on cellular processes. Beyond its impact on IGFs, IGFBP-6 actively participates in cellular signaling by activating the MAPK pathway and promoting cell migration. Notably, it interacts with PHB2 through its C-terminal domain, emphasizing its involvement in intricate protein-protein interactions. These diverse functions highlight the multifaceted role of IGFBP-6 in orchestrating cellular responses associated with growth regulation, signaling, and migration.

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.
