Synonym IGF-binding protein 3, IGF-BP3, IBP-3Recombinant Human Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3 (IGFBP3)
Background IGFBPs are synthesized in the liver and are produced also by various tumor cell lines and cell types. IGFBPs are high affinity binding proteins for IGF. The major fraction of both types of IGF circulating in the blood are bound non- covalently to these carrier proteins. IGF binding proteins modulate IGF activities by increasing their plasma half lives and by inhibiting or promoting the interactions of IGF with receptors on certain target cells. In addition these binding proteins provide a reservoir for IGF in pericellular spaces. Some IGFBPs also have stimulating effects in vitro and some may inhibit the growth of cells. IGFBP1 is found predominantly in the placenta and the amniotic fluid. The predominant sites of IGFBP1 transcription in the human fetal kidney are those with most active differentiation. Elevated serum levels have been observed in patients with Laron-type dwarfism and Growth hormone deficiency. High serum levels of IGFBP1 are found in newborns and it has been suggested that this could be important in protecting them from hypoglycemia.

Target Details

Target Function IGF-binding proteins prolong the half-life of the IGFs and have been shown to either inhibit or stimulate the growth promoting effects of the IGFs on cell culture. They alter the interaction of IGFs with their cell surface receptors. Also exhibits IGF-independent antiproliferative and apoptotic effects mediated by its receptor TMEM219/IGFBP-3R. Inhibits the positive effect of humanin on insulin sensitivity. Promotes testicular germ cell apoptosis.
Subcellular Location Secreted.

    Proteins are sensitive to heat, and freeze-drying can preserve the activity of the majority of proteins. It improves protein stability, extends storage time, and reduces shipping costs. However, freeze-drying can also lead to the loss of the active portion of the protein and cause aggregation and denaturation issues. Nonetheless, these adverse effects can be minimized by incorporating protective agents such as stabilizers, additives, and excipients, and by carefully controlling various lyophilization conditions.

    Commonly used protectant include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins and amino acids etc. We usually add 8% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose and mannitol as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure, the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process; mannitol is also a universal applied protectant and fillers, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.

    Our protein products do not contain carrier protein or other additives (such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and sucrose, etc., and when lyophilized with the solution with the lowest salt content, they often cannot form A white grid structure, but a small amount of protein is deposited in the tube during the freeze-drying process, forming a thin or invisible transparent protein layer.

    Reminder: Before opening the tube cap, we recommend that you quickly centrifuge for 20-30 seconds in a small centrifuge, so that the protein attached to the tube cap or the tube wall can be aggregated at the bottom of the tube. Our quality control procedures ensure that each tube contains the correct amount of protein, and although sometimes you can't see the protein powder, the amount of protein in the tube is still very precise.
