OsrIGF-1 Recombinant Human Insulin-likeGrowth Factor-1

Human insulin-like growth factor-1, also known as IGF-1, has a molecular weight of 7.6kD. It is a hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin. It primarily functions through binding to its specific receptor, the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R), to initiates intracellular signaling. IGF-1 is one of the most potent natural activators of the AKT signaling pathway, which stimulates cell growth and proliferation, and inhibits cell apoptosis. Thus, IGF-1 is widely deemed as a powerful substitute of insulin. OsrIGF-1 is expressed as fusion protein with HSA, which increases its solubility and lifetime. OsrIGF-1 presents a molecular weight about 74.5kD, and has a much higher stability compared to IGF-1.

It is lyophilized with phosphate.
