Introduction
IGFBP1 is a member of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) family and encodes a protein with an IGFBP domain and a thyroglobulin type-I domain. The protein binds both insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) I and II and circulates in the plasma. Binding of this protein prolongs the half-life of the IGFs and alters their interaction with cell surface receptors. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
Description
IGFBP-1 Human Recombinant (26-259 a.a.) produced in NS0 is a single, glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 234 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 25kDa.
The IGFBP1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Mouse myeloma cell line, NS0.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
IGFBP-1 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IBP-1 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized IGFBP1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C.
Upon reconstitution IGF-BP1 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
