Other Performance Data: Endotoxin Level: Measured by kinetic LAL analysis and is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg protein. Biologic Activity: The activity is determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of mouse FDC-P1 cells is typically less than 1.0 ng/mL.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: Insulin-like Growth Factor I purity was determined to be greater than 98% as determined by HpLC, analysis by UV-Spectroscopy at 280nm, and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.
Background: Insulin-like Growth Factor I, IGF-I, is a growth factor produced by the liver when stimulated with growth hormone and can be found circulating throughout the body . IGF-I activates the IGF-I receptor (IGF1R) and the insulin receptor to mediate growth of almost every cell of the body. IGF-I is known as one of the most potent activators of the AKT signaling pathway which is known to be a stimulator of proliferation and an inhibitor of programmed cell death. Mature human IGF-I is 100% homologous with bovine and porcine proteins. Recombinant human IGF-I is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 70 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 7.7 kDa.
