General description
The effects of insulin-like growth factors (IGF) are modulated by a family of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins 1-6. (IGFBPs -1-6). IGFBP-1 is secreted as an endocrine factor by liver, kidneys, decidua and in human amniotic fluid, but has the ability to signal in autocrine and paracrine fashion. Post-translational modifications such as ubiquitination, glycosylation and phosphorylation alter the activity of IGFBPs. Phosphorylation of IGFBP-1 is mainly mediated by Casein kinase I and II and cAMP-dependent protein kinases. IGFBP-1 alters the bioavailability of IGF in the serum by binding and sequestration so that a regulated amount id available to act on the target cells. The functions of IGFBP-1 are most important in the physiology of female reproductive system in mammals, for growth and development of the developing fetus
Monoclonal Anti-Human Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-1 (IGFBP-1) recognizes recombinant human IGFBP-1. No cross-reactivity is seen with recombinant human IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3, and IGFBP-4.
Immunogen
purified recombinant human insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1, expressed in E. coli.
Application
Anti- Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-1 antibody may be used for immunoblotting at a working concentration of 1-2 μg/ml. For ELISA, a working concentration of 2 μg/ml may be used. The antibody is suitable for neutralization reactions (ND50 is 10-40 μg/ml).
Biochem/physiol Actions
The biological activity is measured by its ability to neutralize recombinant human IGFBP-1 in the presence of recombinant human IGF-I.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline.
