| 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. |
| Form : |
White or off-white lyophilized powder |
| Bio-activity : |
≥2×10^5 IU /mg pro. The biological activity is determined by assessing the stimulatory effect of IGF-1 on the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. |
| Molecular Mass : |
7.7 kDa ± 0.8 kDa |
| Endotoxin : |
< 0.2 EU/μg |
| Purity : |
≥98%(SDS-PAGE) |
| Storage : |
Store at -15 to -20 centigrade, stable for up to 24 months. |
| Reconstitution : |
It is recommended to briefly centrifuge the tube before opening to settle the powder at the bottom. Then, dissolve the powder in sterilized deionized water to prepare a 100 μg/mL stock solution, which can be stored stably at 2-8 centigrade for one week.
When diluting to lower concentrations (not below 10 μg/mL), 0.1% BSA or HSA must be added. To extend storage time, freezing at -70 or -20 centigrade is recommended. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided. |
