Description

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) is a growth factor that is produced by the liver. IGF-1 production is stimulated by Growth Hormone. IGF-1 binds the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) and the insulin receptor to stimulate systemic body growth. IGF-1 is one of the most potent activators of the AKT signaling pathway, which stimulates cell proliferation and inhibits programmed cell death. Mature human IGF-1 is 100% homologous to bovine and porcine IGF-1 proteins.

Activity Assay

Human IGF-1 is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by the ability to induce FDC-P1 cells proliferation and it is typically less than 10 ng/ml. This corresponds to an expected specific activity of 1.0 x 105 units/mg.
