Insulin Like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) Active Protein | IGF2 active protein
Active Insulin Like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2)
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
Activity Data
(Figure. The binding activity of IGF2 with EMMPRIN.Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is one of three protein hormones that share structural similarity to insulin. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like and mitogenic activities. IGF2 exerts its effects by binding to the IGF-1 receptor and to the short isoform of the insulin receptor. IGF2 may also bind to the IGF2 receptor (also called the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor), which acts as a signalling antagonist; that is, to prevent IGF2 responses. Besides, Extracellular Matrix Metalloproteinase Inducer (EMMPRIN) has been identified as an interactor of IGF2, thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human IGF2 and recombinant human EMMPRIN. Briefly, IGF2 were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100uL were then transferred to EMMPRIN-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37 degree C. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-IGF2 pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37 degree C. Finally, add 50uL stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of IGF2 and EMMPRIN was shown in Figure 1, and this effect was in a dose dependent manner.)

NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the insulin family of polypeptide growth factors, which are involved in development and growth. It is an imprinted gene, expressed only from the paternal allele, and epigenetic changes at this locus are associated with Wilms tumour, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, rhabdomyosarcoma, and Silver-Russell syndrome. A read-through INS-IGF2 gene exists, whose 5' region overlaps the INS gene and the 3' region overlaps this gene. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
