Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | P05019 |
Synonym | IGF-I, Mechano growth factor, MGF, Somatomedin-C, IBP1;Recombinant Human Insulin Like Growth Factor-I (IGF1) |
Background | The Insulin Growth Factors belong to the Insulin gene family, the prototypic members of which include insulin and relaxin. Also known as somatomedin C, IGF1 is known to stimulate the proliferation of a wide range of cells including muscle, bone, and those of the cartilage tissue. A dominant effector of the growth hormone, mature IGF1 is generated by proteolytic removal of the N- and C- terminal pro-peptide regions. Mature human IGF1 shares 94% and 96% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat IGF1, respectively, while exhibiting cross-species activity. Circulating IGF1 is produced by hepatocytes while local IGF1 is produced by various other tissues in which it exerts paracrine effects. Recombinant Human IGF1 is a globular, 7.7 kDa protein that contains 3 native intra-molecular disulfide bonds. |

Target Details
Target Function | The insulin-like growth factors, isolated from plasma, are structurally and functionally related to insulin but have a much higher growth-promoting activity. May be a physiological regulator of [1-14C]-2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) transport and glycogen synthesis in osteoblasts. Stimulates glucose transport in bone-derived osteoblastic (PyMS) cells and is effective at much lower concentrations than insulin, not only regarding glycogen and DNA synthesis but also with regard to enhancing glucose uptake. May play a role in synapse maturation. Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis of IGF1 is required for sensory perception of smell in the olfactory bulb. Acts as a ligand for IGF1R. Binds to the alpha subunit of IGF1R, leading to the activation of the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity which autophosphorylates tyrosine residues in the beta subunit thus initiatiating a cascade of down-stream signaling events leading to activation of the PI3K-AKT/PKB and the Ras-MAPK pathways. Binds to integrins ITGAV:ITGB3 and ITGA6:ITGB4. Its binding to integrins and subsequent ternary complex formation with integrins and IGFR1 are essential for IGF1 signaling. Induces the phosphorylation and activation of IGFR1, MAPK3/ERK1, MAPK1/ERK2 and AKT1. |
