PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Solution.
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system plays a significant role in many cellular processes, including proliferation, and survival. IGFBP1 may be involved in reproductive function, including endometrial cycling, oocyte maturation, and fetal growth. IGFBP1 potentiates IGF effects in certain cell systems, possibly as a result of the binding of IGFBP1 to cell membranes through its Arg-Gly-Asp sequence.
Insulin like Growth Factor of Human Recombinant short chain produced in E. coli is a non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 92 amino acids fragment (161-253) and having a total Mw of 11.81 kDa, with C-terminal hexahistidine tag. IGF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
