Gene Information

human ... IGF2(3481)

General description

Human Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) contains 67 amino acids and shares similar structural features with IGF1, including a 62% sequence homology. In human plasma, IGF1 and IGF2 are associated with IGF-binding proteins that transport the polypeptides and partially regulate their actions in vivo. In addition to the insulin receptor, IGF2 binds to two forms of IGF receptors, both of which are widely distributed in different tissues and cultured cells. IGF2 is mitogenic for a variety of cultured cells, including mouse 3T3 cells,12 normal rat kidney cells, human or chicken fibroblasts and MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells.

Immunogen

Epitope: Insulin-like growth factor 2 mature chain
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the human Insulin-like growth factor 2 mature chain.

Application

Research Category
Apoptosis & Cancer
Research Sub Category
Apoptosis - Additional
This Anti-IGF2 Antibody is validated for use in Western Blotting for the detection of IGF2.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in human placenta tissue lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:500 dilution of this antibody detected IGF2 in 10 µg of human placenta tissue lysate.

Target description

~24 kDa observed. This antibody detects all 3 isoforms of IGF2 (20-26 kDa), and may run higher than expected due to glycosylation.

Physical form

Affinity purified
Purified rabbit polyclonal in buffer containing 0.1 M Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl with 0.05% sodium azide.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.

Objective The IGF/IGF1R axis is involved in the regulation of human growth. Both IGF1 and IGF2 can bind to the IGF1R in order to promote growth via the downstream PI3K/AKT pathway. Pathogenic mutations in IGF1 and IGF1R determine intrauterine growth

We recently developed a novel computational algorithm that incorporates Bayesian methodology to identify rhabdomyosarcoma disease genes whose expression level correlates with copy-number variations, and we identified PLAG1 as a candidate oncogenic driver. Although PLAG1 has been shown to contribute to
