Alternative names:

IGF;MGF;IGFI;IGF-I

Description:

Recombinant Human IGF1 Protein with N-terminal human Fc tag

Background:

The protein encoded by this gene is similar to insulin in function and structure and is a member of a family of proteins involved in mediating growth and development. The encoded protein is processed from a precursor, bound by a specific receptor, and secreted. Defects in this gene are a cause of insulin-like growth factor I deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms that may undergo similar processing to generate mature protein. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

Molecular characterization:

hFc(Glu99-Ala330) IGF1(Gly49-Ala118)

Molecular weight:

The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 33.8 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of hFc-IGF1 is approximately 35-55 kDa due to glycosylation.

Tag:

N-Human Fc Tag

Expression host:

HEK293

Target:

IGF1

Purity:

The purity of the protein is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining.

Formulation / Reconstitution:

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions of reconstitution.

Storage:

Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
