IGFBP1, Recombinant, Human (Insulin-like Growth Factor-binding Protein 1, IBP-1, IGF-binding Protein 1, IGFBP-1, Placental Protein 12, PP12, IBP1)

IGF-BPs controls the distribution, function and activity of IGFs in various cell tissues and body fluids. Currently there are seven named IGF-BPs that form high affinity complexes with both IGF-I and IGF-II. IGF-BP1 is a 25.4kD cysteine-rich secreted protein expressed in liver, deciduas, and kidneys and is the most abundant IGF-BP in amniotic fluid. Levels of IGF-BP1 in serum are lowest after food. IGF-BP1 binds to both IGF-I and IGF-II with equal affinity. Phosphorylated IGF-BP1 hinders IGF actions, where as nonphosphorylated IGF-BP1 is stimulatory. Recombinant human IGF-BP1 is a 25.4kD protein consisting of 235aa (Isoform A).\n\nSource:\nRecombinant protein corresponding to human IGF-BP1, expressed in E.coli.\n\nBiological Activity:\nDetermined by its ability to inhibit IGF-I induced proliferation of MCF-7. The ED50 was found to be 0.5g/ml in the presence of 6ng/ml of human IGF-I.\n\nEndotoxin:\n<0.1ng/ug (1EU/ug)\n\nAA Sequence:\nMAPWQCAPCS AEKLALCPPV SASCSEVTRS AGCGCCPMCA LPLGAACGVA TARCARGLSC RALPGEQQPL HALTRGQGAC VQESDASAPH AAEAGSPESP ESTEITEEEL LDNFHLMAPS EEDHSILWDA ISTYDGSKAL HVTNIKKWKE PCRIELYRVV ESLAKAQETS GEEISKFYLP NCNKNGFYHS RQCETSMDGE AGLCWCVYPW NGKRIPGSPE IRGDPNCQIY FNVQN\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
