The Human [Ala31] [Leu60] IGF-I is for research use only and not to be used for diagnostic procedures. The Eagle Bioscience’s Human [Ala31] [Leu60] IGF-I is for research use only and not to be used for diagnostic procedures. Product Specifications Source: IGF-I is produced in E.coli using a patented expression system and the IGF-I is correctly folded and purified by several chromatography steps to yield Receptor Grade IGF-I. Description: Human [Ala31][Leu60]insulin-like Growth Factor-I ([Ala31][Leu60]IGF-I) is an analogue of human IGF-I which has an Alanine substitution in place of Tyrosine at position 31 and a Leucine substitution in place of Tyrosine at position 60 of the human IGF-I sequence. [Ala31][Leu60]IGF-I has greatly reduced binding to the type 1 IGF receptor and to the insulin receptor compared to IGF-I, [Leu24]IGF-I and [Leu60]IGF-I. However [Ala31][Leu60]IGF-I has normal binding to acid-stripped human serum binding proteins. Consequently [Ala31][Leu60]IGF-I is an extremely useful analogue of IGF-I for investigating IGF actions largely independent of binding to the type 1 IGF receptor Purity: >95 % (as determined by HPLC analysis) Quantity: 100 µg Molecular Weight: 7507 daltons – confirmed by Mass Spectrometry N-terminal sequence analysis of recombinant product: 5 residues >95% single sequence Biological Activity: IGF type 1 receptor binding assay (ED50 > 750 ng/ml) IGF binding protein assay: ED50 < 10 ng/ml) Endotoxin (LAL): <0.1 EU/ug Storage/Stability: At least 2 years Appearance: White Powder State: Dried from 0.1 M acetic acid under dry nitrogen at a slight vacuum (-25kPa)
