IGF-1 (animal free), human recombinant
IGF-1 is a well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. IGF-1 has a major, but not absolute, dependence on Somatotropin. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to Insulin-like Growth Factor 2, which is a major fetal growth factor. Recombinant Human IGF-1 is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain.

Produced using animal free raw components and processes, in a non-mammalian system. Ideal for researchers concerned about the risks and effects of contaminating viruses, prions and trace growth factors from FBS and animal-derived ingredients used in standard recombinant protein production techniques. Endotoxin levels are less than 1.0 EU per ug protein via LAL. Bioactivity is comparable to recombinant protein produced in traditional techniques.
