Description:

Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) belonging to the insulin gene family, are mitogenic polypeptides that stimulate the proliferation and survival of various cell types including muscle, bone, and cartilage tissue in vitro. The IGFs are similar in structure and function to insulin, but have a much higher growth-promoting activity than insulin. IGF-1 is produced primarily by the liver as an endocrine hormone as well as in target tissues in a paracrine/autocrine fashion. The production of IGF-1 is stimulated by growth hormone (GH) and can be retarded by undernutrition, growth hormone insensitivity, lack of growth hormone receptors, or failures of the downstream signaling pathway post GH receptor including SHP2 and STAT5B. Mature human IGF-1 shares 94% and 96% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat IGF-1, respectively, and exhibits cross-species activity.
Manufacturing and testing of this product complies with ICH Q7 guidelines.

Storage/Stability:

Lyophilized vial is shipped at ambient temperature. Immediately upon receipt, store unopened vial at -20°C (manual defrost freezer) or -80°C for up to 36 months. Upon reconstitution, prepare working aliquots and store at -20°C (manual defrost freezer) or -80°C. It is recommended that a carrier protein such as 0.1% HSA or BSA is added for long term storage. For short term storage reconstituted material is stable for 4-6 weeks when stored at 2-8°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
