Specifications

Insulin-Like Growth Factor I, Recombinant, Rat (IGF1) is a well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. This growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on Somatotropin. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to Insulin like Growth Factor 2, which is a major fetal growth factor.
Catalog #I7661-09Q
Biological ActivityRat IGF-1 is fully biologically active when compared to standards. The ED50, was calculated 2 methods: 1. Stimulation of protein synthesis in rat L6 myoblasts ED50 was found to be 30ng/ml. 2. Type 1 IGF receptor binding assay ED50 was found to be 10ng/ml.
AA SequenceThe sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Gly-Pro-Glu-Thr-Leu. N-terminal methionine has been completely removed enzymatically.
