(IBP-1, IGF-Binding Protein 1, AFBP, PP12, IGF-BP25, hIGFBP-1, IGFBP-1.)
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.
IGFBP1 native Human is a single, glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 218 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 25.3kDa. IGFBP1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Purity: Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Source: Human amniotic fluid
Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation: The protein was lyophilized with 10mM HCL.
Storage:
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.
