Overview

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) is a polypeptide which belongs to the family of insulin-like growth factors that are similar in molecular structure to proinsulin. IGF-I binds to the IGF-I receptor and is a potent activator of the PI3K/AKT pathway; it also activates ERK1/2 signaling. IGF-I is required for embryonic development, and it is produced mainly in liver in response to a hepatocyte growth hormone. In the absence of insulin, IGF-I is necessary for the maintenance of human pluripotent stem cells (Wang et al.). Together with interleukin 3 (IL-3), IGF-I stimulates differentiation and proliferation of myeloid cells, and has been shown to regulate lymphopoiesis by stimulating proliferation and differentiation of T and B cells in lymphoid organs (Heemskerk et al.).

Data Figures

(A) The biological activity of Mouse Recombinant IGF-I was tested by its ability to promote the proliferation of FDC-P1 cells. Cell proliferation was measured using a fluorometric assay method. The EC50 is defined as the effective concentration of the growth factor at which cell proliferation is at 50% of maximum. The EC50 in the example above is less than 10 ng/mL. (B) 2 μg of Mouse Recombinant IGF-I was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (+) and non-reducing (-) conditions and visualized by Coomassie Blue staining. Mouse Recombinant IGF-I has a predicted molecular mass of 7.8 kDa.
