Mouse Anti-Insulin-Like Growth Factor I (IGF1, Somatomedin C)
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a polypeptide protein hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin. It plays an important role in childhood growth and continues to have anabolic effects in adults. IGF-1 consists of 70 amino acids in a single chain with three intramolecular disulfide bridges. IGF-1 is produced primarily by the liver as an endocrine hormone and targets tissues in a paracrine/ autocrine fashion. Production is stimulated by growth hormone and can be retarded by undernutrition, growth hormone insensitivity, lack of growth hormone receptors, or failures of the downstream signaling pathway post GH receptor including SHP2 and STAT5b. Approximately 98% of IGF-1 is always bound to one of 6 binding proteins (IGF-BP). IGFBP-3, the most abundant protein, accounts for 80% of all IGF binding. IGF-1 binds to IGFBP-3 in a 1:1 molar ratio. Its primary action is mediated by binding to specific IGF receptors present on many cell types in many tissues. The signal is transduced by intracellular events. IGF-1 is one of the most potent natural activators of the AKT signaling pathway, a stimulator of cell growth and multiplication and a potent inhibitor of programmed cell death.
Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation, Neutralization and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions
Western Blot: 0.5-2ug/ml detects 100ng of IGF1 under non-reducing conditions. Immunoprecipitation: 5ug immunoprecipitated 100ng IGF1. Neutralization: 10-20ug/ml can inhibit the activity of 10ng/ml of IGF1 as determined by testing with chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) using an ATP endpoint assay. Immunohistochemistry: 10ug/ml. Reported to detect IFG1 in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded skin sections. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
