Recombinant Human Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor, His-tagged, Active

• Cat.No.: IGF1R-330H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human IGF1R (960-end) was expressed by baculovirus inSf9 insect cellsusing an N-terminal His tag. MW = 53 kDa.

Specification

• Cat. No.: IGF1R-330H
• Description: IGF1R (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor that is activated by IGF-1 and by the related growth factor IGF-2. IGF1R mediates the effects of IGF-1 and plays an important role in growth and anabolic effects in adults. The IGF1R is implicated in several cancers, most notably breast cancer where it is highly overexpressed and functions as an anti-apoptotic agent by enhancing cell survival. In many instances, the anti-apoptotic properties of IGF1R overexpression allows cancerous cells to resist the cytotoxic properties of chemotheraputic drugs or radiotherapy.
• Source: Sf9 insect cells using baculovirus.
• Sequence: 960-end.
• Applications: Kinase Assay, Western Blot.
• Storage And Stability: Store product at -70°C. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
