Specifications

Product Data
Species	Human
Expression Host	E. coli
Expression cDNA Clone or AA Sequence	Protein Sequence (showhide) AYRPSETLCGGELVDTLQFVCGDRGFYFSRPASRVSRRSRGIVEECCFRSCDLALLETYCATPAKSE with polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus.
Tag	His Tag (N-term)
Predicted MW	The protein has a calculated MW of 8.28 kDa. The protein migrates as 11 kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis).
Purity	>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Buffer	The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered solution containing 1X PBS, pH 8.0.
Applications	Cell culture
Storage	Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C for 3-6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Bioactivity	Measure by its ability to induce MCF-7 cells proliferation. The ED₅₀ for this effect is <3 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant human IGF-II is > 3x 10⁵ IU/mg.
Endotoxin	<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Reference Data
UniProt ID	P01344
Synonyms	Somatamedin A
Summary	Insulin like Growth Factors 2 (IGF-II) is a 7.48 kDa member of the Insulin-like Growth Factors with 67 amino acid residues. IGF-II is mainly expressed from placenta, extravillous trophoblasts, leydig cells, syncytiotrophoblasts, cytotrophoblasts, peritubular cells. IGF-II regulating fetoplacental development and tissue differentiation. In adults, IGF-II signaling involves glucose metabolism in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver. It also has important implications for metabolic disorders and cancer.
