Description
| Product Name: | Gilthead Seabream IGF1 Recombinant Protein |
| Product Code: | RPPB0426 |
| Size: | 50µg |
| Species: | Gilthead Seabream |
| Target: | IGF1 |
| Synonyms: | Somatomedin C, IGF-I, IGFI. |
| Source: | Escherichia Coli |
| Physical Appearance: | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation: | The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.02% NaHCO3. |
| Solubility: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IGF-1 in sterile 0.4% NaHCO3 adjusted to ph 8-9, not less than 100�g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability: | Lyophilized�IGF1�although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IGF1 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 98.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by SEC-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Amino Acid Sequence: | MSPETLCGAELVDTLQFVCGERGFYFSKPGYGPNARRSRGIVDECCFQSCELRRLEMYCAPAKTSK |
| Biological Activity: | Binding assays of the 125I-Gealthead Seabream IGF1 to Gilthead Seabream or carp (Cyprinus carpio) sera resulted in high specific binding, indicating the existence of one or more IGF-binding proteins. In binding experiments to crude Gilthead Seabream brain homogenate, using human (h) IGF-I as a ligand, the respective IC50 value of hIGF1 was about fourfold lower than that of Gilthead Seabream IGF-1. Recombinant Gilthead Seabream IGF-1 exhibited mitogenic activity in a mouse mammary gland-derived MME-L1 cell line which was approximately 200-fold lower than that of hIGF1. Binding experiments to intact MME-L1 cells suggests that this difference most likely results from a correspondingly lower affinity for IGF1 receptor in these cells. In contrast, the activities of Gilthead Seabream IGF-I and hIGF-I measured by 35S uptake by gill arches from the goldfish (Carassius auratus) were identical, indicating that the recombinant Gilthead Seabream IGF-I is biologically active. |
The somatomedins, or IGFs, comprise a family of peptides that play important roles in mammalian growth and development. IGF1 mediates many of the growth-promoting effects of GH. Early studies showed that�GH did not directly stimulate the incorporation of sulfate into cartilage, but rather acted through a serum factor, termed 'sulfation factor,' which later became known as somatomedin.��Three main somatomedins have been characterized: somatomedin C (IGF1), somatomedin A (IGF2), and somatomedin B.
IGF1 Gilthead SeabreamRecombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 68 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 7545.4 Dalton, the predicted pI=7.72.IGF-1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
