Recombinant Mouse LR3-IGF-1 (C-6His)

Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF1) belongs to the family of insulin-like growth factors that are structurally homologous to proinsulin. Mouse IGF-I is synthesized as two precursor isoforms with alternate N- and C-terminal propeptides. These isoforms are differentially expressed by various tissues. Mature mouse IGF-I shares 94% and 99% aa sequence identity with human and rat IGF-I, respectively, and exhibits cross-species activity. It shares 60% aa sequence identity with mature mouse IGF-II. IGF-I induces the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of a wide variety of cell types during development and postnatally. It plays an important role in muscle regeneration and tumor progression. IGF-I binds IGF-I R, IGF-II R, and the insulin receptor. IGF-I association with IGF binding proteins increases its plasma half-life and modulates its interactions with receptors.

Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml.Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Lyophilized protein should be stored at ≤ -20°C, stable for one year after receipt. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at ≤ -20°C for 3 months.

Recombinant Mouse Insulin-like Growth Factor I is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Gly49-Ala118 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
