Product Name: Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Rabbit Recombinant Synonyms: Somatomedin C, IGF-I, IGFI, IGF1, IGF-IA, Mechano growth factor, MGF. Description: Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Rabbit Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 71 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 7639 Dalton. Uniprot Accesion Number: Q95222 Amino Acid Sequence:MTAGPETLCG AELVDALQFV CGDRGFYFNK PTGYGSSSRR APQTGIVDEC CFRSCDLRRL EMYCAPLKP Source: Escherichia Coli. Physical Appearance and Stability: Lyophilized Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution IGF1 should be stored at 4C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. Formulation and Purity: The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (0.5mg/ml) solution with 0.02% NaHCO3. Greater than 98.0% as determined by:(a) Gel-filtration chromatography under non denaturing conditions.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. Application: Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized rbIGF-I in sterile 0.4% NaHCO3 adjusted, not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Biological Activity: IGF-I is biologically active when compared to human IGF-1. The ED50, calculated by the dose -dependent proliferation of human MCF/7 cells is 5 to 25ng/ml in the cell culture mixture dependent on culture conditions. Its activity consists of 30-40 % compared to human IGF-1. Shipping Format and Condition: Lyophilized powder at room temperature. Usage Statement: Our products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals. |
