Active Recombinant Human IGF1 (26-95aa)

• Cat.No.: IGF1-026E
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human IGF1 (Gly26 ­ Ala95) was expressed in E. coli and produced using non­animal reagent in an animal­free laboratory.

Specification

• Cat. No.: IGF1-026E
• Description: Insulin­like growth factor I, also known as somatomedin C, is the dominant effector of growth hormone and is structurally homologous to proinsulin. Human IGF­I is synthesized as two precursor isoforms with N­ and alternate C­terminal propeptides . IGF­I induces the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of a wide variety of cell types during development and postnatally . IGF­I regulates glucose and fatty acid metabolism, steroid hormone activity, and cartilage and bone metabolism . It plays an important role in muscle regeneration and tumor progression. IGF ­I binds IGF­I R, IGF­II R, and the insulin receptor, although its effects are mediated primarily by IGF­I R. IGF­I association with IGF binding proteins increases its plasma half­life and modulates its interactions with receptors.
