Human Recombinant Insulin-like Growth Factor I Source : E.coli Cell Culture Tested

CF036 is recombinant human IGF-I expressed in E. coli, filtered through 0.22μ membrane filter and lyophilized without any additives. In cell culture applications, IGF-I is used as a constituent of growth medium and to investigate the effect of IGF-I on sensitive mammalian cell lines. Insulin like growth factors are structurally and functionally similar to insulin however, they exhibit much higher proliferation potential as compared to insulin. Insulin like growth factors have been shown to exert mitogenic effect on variety of cell types in vitro - muscles, bone and cartilage cells. IGF-I signal through the tyrosine kinase type I receptor (IGF-IR). In cell culture applications, IGF-I is used as a constituent of growth medium and to investigate the effect of IGF-I on sensitive mammalian cell lines.
