Recombinant Rat Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1

• Cat.No.: Igf1-604R
• Product Overview: Rat Igf1 is a 7.69 kDa protein containing 70 amino acid residues (plus an additional 21 aa as N terminal His tag).

Specification

• Cat. No.: Igf1-604R
• Description: Igf1 (Insulin like Growth Factor 1) is a polypeptide growth factor that stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of cell types including muscle, bone, and cartilage tissue.
• Biological Activity: The ED₅₀ was determined by two methods: 1) By stimulation of protein synthesis in rat L6 myoblasts, the ED₅₀ was found to be <30 ng/ml; 2) By Type I IGF receptor binding assay, the ED₅₀ was found to be <10 ng/ml.
• Molecular Weight: 7.69 kDa
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Rat
• Form: Lyophilized without additives.
• Appearance: Liquid
• Endotoxin Level: <0.1 ng/μg
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers and stored at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for future use.
• Purity: ≥95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses
• Storage: The lyophilized Igf1 is best stored desiccated below 0°C. Reconstituted Igf1 should be stored at working aliquots at 20°C.
