The activity is determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of FDC-P1 cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 0.65-0.98 ng/mL.
Quality Control Testing:
1 ug/lane in 4-20% Tris-Glycine gel Stained with Coomassie Blue
Lane 1: non-reducing conditions Lane 2: reducing conditions
Storage Buffer:
No additive
Storage Instruction:
Store at -20°C on dry atmosphere. After reconstitution with sterilized water, store at -20°C or lower. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Note:
Result of activity analysis
FDC-P1 cells were cultured with 0 to 250 ng/mL human IGF1. Cell proliferation was measured after 48 hours and the linear portion of the curve was us used to calculate the ED50.
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. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene
