Stability and Reconstitution

Stability and Storage Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products.
Reconstitution Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein to 0.2 mg/mL in sterile 1x PBS pH 7.4 containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin (HSA). Gently swirl or tap vial to mix.

Background

The Insulin like growth factor-1, also known as Somatomedin-C is a growth factor which is structurally related to insulin and is an important regulator of growth and differentiation in various tissues and cell systems. Human IGF-1 is synthesized as two precursor isoforms with N- and alternate C-terminal propeptide. The two precursor isoforms are differentially expressed by various tissues. The proteolytic cleavage of the N- and C-terminal regions results in the mature IGF-1 protein which is identical between isoforms. IGF-1 binds to IGF-1 receptor and induces receptor autophosphorylation. This further phosphorylates Insulin receptor substrate -1 (IRS-1) and activates various downstream signaling pathways including the PI3-AKT, MAPK etc. (PMID: 17354613, 17113337, 29535161)
