IGF-BP3 Antibody (biotin)

Insulin like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGF-BP3) is a member of the superfamily of insulin like growth factor (IGF) binding proteins which include six high affinity IGF binding proteins (IGF-BP) and at least four low affinity binding proteins referred to as IGF-BP related proteins (IGFBPrP) . The IGF-BP members are cysteine rich proteins with conserved cysteine residues clustered in the amino terminal and the carboxy terminal regions of the molecule. The cDNA sequence encoding the mature human IGF-BP3 is fused to the signal peptide of CD33. Human IGF-BP3 is the major IGF binding protein in plasma where it exists in a ternary complex with IGFI or IGFII and an acid labile subunit.

Produced from sera of rabbits pre-immunized with highly pure (>98%) recombinant hIGF-BP3. Human IGF-BP3 specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and then biotinylated.

IGF-BP3 antibody is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. The reconstituted antibody is stable for at least two weeks at 2-8˚ C. Frozen aliquots are stable for at least 6 months when stored at -20˚ C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
