Active Recombinant Human IGF1 Protein (Gly49-Ala118), GMP Grade, Animal-Free

• Cat.No.: IGF1-29HG
• Product Overview: GMP recombinant human IGF-I/IGF-1 protein (Gly49-Ala118) without tag was expressed in E. coli, produced in an Animal-Free laboratory and manufactured and tested under cGMP guidelines.

Specification

• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is similar to insulin in function and structure and is a member of a family of proteins involved in mediating growth and development. The encoded protein is processed from a precursor, bound by a specific receptor, and secreted. Defects in this gene are a cause of insulin-like growth factor I deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms that may undergo similar processing to generate mature protein.
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Human
• Bio-activity: Measured in a serum-free cell proliferation assay using MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.3-1.5 ng/mL.
  The specific activity of recombinant human IGF-I/IGF-1 is >1000 IU/mg, which is calibrated against the human IGF-I/IGF-1 WHO International Standard.
