Monoclonal Anti-Insulin-like Growth Factor-I antibody produced in hamster

General description

Insulin-like Growth Factor-I (also known as somatomedinC and somatomedin A) and insulin-like growth factor-II(IGF-II) belong to the family of insulin-like growthfactors, which are structurally homologous to proinsulin.Mature IGF-I and IGF-II are h

Immunogen

purified, E. coli-derived recombinant mouse insulin-like growth factor-I.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Insulin-like growth factor -1 shares structural homology with proinsulin and is mainly produced by liver. IGF-1 acts via specific receptor, IGF-1R, a heterodimeric tyrosine kinase receptor that signals to various second messenger pathways such as MAPK, Raf/Ras and PI3K cascades. The effects of IGF-1R signaling are important at many developmental levels from cells to organ to organism, growth, differentiation, anti-apoptosis, proliferation and transformation.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.
