IGF1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1), Human Recombinant, E.coli

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF1) is a member of the insulin family. It is a multifunctional regulator of somatic growth and development throughout evolution. IGF1 signaling through its high affinity tyrosine kinase receptor IGF type 1 receptor (IGF1R), involved in the control of tissue development and homeostasis by regulating multiple cell functions including proliferation, differentiation, survival, adhesion and migration. IGF1 is a member of a major growth-promoting signaling in the mammalian system., is produced by many tissues and functions throughout embryonic and postnatal development in an autocrine/paracrine fashion.
Full Name Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Human Recombinant
Synonyms Somatomedin C, IGF-I, IGFI, IGF1, IGF-IA, Mechano growth factor, MGF.
Source E. coli
Molecular Weight Recombinant Human IGF-I produced by e.coli expression system.Target protein is expressed with sequence (L53-A118) of Human IGF1.(Uniprot #P05019). Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 65 amino acids and having a MW of 7.5KD
Purity >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Endotoxin Endotoxin level was found to be ≤ 0.1 ng/µg(1EU/µg) by LAL gel clot method.
Formulation Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered solution of 300mM NaAc, pH 6.5.
Reconstitution To reconstitute the protein, add sterile water to the lyophilized protein and make a preparation with a concentration ≥0.1mg/ml. The preparation can be diluted into other appropriate buffers if necessary. Be cautious and avoid potential contamination with bacteria and endotoxin
Stability The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Biological Activity The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependant proliferation of murine BALB\C 3T3 cells (measured by 3H-thymidine uptake) is < 1.0ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 1,000,000U/mg. For most in-vitro applications, IGF-I exerts its biological activity in the concentration range of 0.2-20 ng/ml.
Usage LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
