General description

Insulin-like growth factors -1 and -2 are important regulators of signalling that mediates growth and metabolism in cells. Insulin-like growth factor -1 shares structural homology with proinsulin and is mainly produced by liver. IGF-1 acts via specific receptor, IGF-1R, a heterodimeric tyrosine kinase receptor that signals to various second messenger pathways such as MAPK, Raf/Ras and PI3K cascades. The effect of IGF-1 is by endocrine, paracrine and autocrine signalling. The effects of IGF-1 signalling are important at many developmental levels from cells to organ to organism, growth, differentiation, anti-apoptosis, proliferation and transformation. Irregular IGF-1 signaling has been implicated in many cancers including melanoma, breast, lung, colon and prostate
Anti-IGF-I recognizes human insulin-like growth factor I. The antibody does not react with human IGF-II.

Specificity

The antibody neutralizes the biological activity of recombinant human IGF-I.

Immunogen

recombinant human IGF-I expressed in Escherichia coli

Application

Anti- IGF-1 antibody may be used for neutralization reactions, the ND50 of the antibody is 3-12 μg/ml. For immunoblotting a working antibody concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/ml.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, with 5% trehalose.

Preparation Note

Affinity isolated by IGF-I affinity chromatography.

True macromastia is a rare but disabling condition characterized by massive breast growth. The aetiology and pathogenic mechanisms for this disorder remain largely unexplored because of the lack of in vivo or in vitro models. Previous studies suggested that regulation
