Biological Activity

The ED50 range is 0.01-0.09ug/ml as measured by its ability to inhibit the biological activity of IGFII (20ng/ml) on MCF7 human breast adenocarcinoma cells.

Formulation

IGFBP 4 was lyophilized after extensive dialysis against PBS.

Intorduction

Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 4 (IGFBP-4) belongs to the insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) family. IGFBP4 includes an IGFBP domain and a thyroglobulin type-I domain. IGFBP4 binds both insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) I and II. IGFBP-4 circulates in the plasma in both glycosylated and non-glycosylated forms. IGFBPs can either inhibit or enhance the biological activities of IGF, or act in an IGF independent manner. IGFBP-4 is exceptional since it consistently inhibits several cancer cells in vivo and in vitro, suggesting that it may function as an apoptotic factor. IGFBP4 is produced by all colon cancer cells. Binding of IGFBP-4 prolongs the half-life of the IGFs and changes their interaction with cell surface receptors.

Physical Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Purity

Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IGFBP4 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Source

HEK293 cells.

Stability

Lyophilized IGFBP4 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18oC.
Upon reconstitution IGFBP-4 should be stored at 4oC between 2-7 days and for future use below -18oC.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Synonyms

Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 4, IBP-4, IGF-binding protein 4, IGFBP-4, IGFBP4, IBP4, BP-4, HT29-IGFBP.
