Description : |
Insulin like growth factor I(IGF-1), also known as somatomedin C, is a secreted protein which belongs to the insulin family. IGF-1 binds IGFI R, IGFII R, and the insulin receptor, although its effects are mediated primarily by IGFI R, which is structurally and functionally related to insulin but has a much higher growth-promoting activity.IGF-1 regulates proliferation and differentiation of a wide variety of cell types. The human mature IGF-1 composes of 70 amino acids and three disulfide bonds with a MW of 7.6kD. The recombinant IGF-1 is modified with additional 13 amino acids at N terminal to increase the activity and stability. |
Bio-activity : |
The activity was measured by its ability to stimulate the proliferation of 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells. |
Molecular Mass : |
9 kDa |
Endotoxin : |
<1 EU/ μg |
Purity : |
>95% by SDS-PAGE |
Stability : |
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. In general: 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -80 centigrade as supplied. 1 month, 2 to 8 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution. 3 months, -20 to -80 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
Storage Buffer : |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 50mM NaAOC without carrier protein |
Reconstitution : |
Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein in sterile 10mM acetic acid containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin. |
