Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein 3, Growth-hormone-dependant binding protein

Description :

IGF-BP3 is a 30 kDa cysteine-rich secreted protein. It is the major IGF binding protein present in the plasma of human and animals and it is also found in α-granules of platelets. In addition to its ability to modulate the activity of IGF-I and IGF-II, IGF-BP3 exerts inhibitory effects on follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) activity. Decreased plasma levels of IGF-BP3 often results in dwarfism, whereas elevated levels of IGF-BP3 may lead to acromegaly. The expression of IGF-BP3 in fibroblasts is stimulated by mitogenic growth factors such as Bombesin, Vasopressin, PDGF, and EGF. Recombinant human IGF-BP3 is a 28.8 kDa protein consisting of 264 amino acid residues.

Purity :

Greater than 98% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.

Endotoxin Level :

Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per μg (1EU/μg).

Biological Activity :

The ED ₅₀ was determined by its ability to inhibit IGF-II induced proliferation of MCF-7. The expected ED ₅₀ for this effect is ≤ 0.2 μg/ml in presence of 15 ng/ml of human IGF-II.
