The IGF1 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO04124) is a valuable tool for researchers studying insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), a key player in cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and is validated for Western blot applications. By binding specifically to the IGF1 protein, this antibody allows for precise detection and analysis in various cell types, making it ideal for investigations in endocrinology, oncology, and developmental biology.
IGF1 is a potent regulator of cell growth and survival, making it a critical target for research into growth disorders, cancer, and age-related diseases. Understanding the role of IGF1 in these conditions can provide valuable insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic interventions. The IGF1 Polyclonal Antibody offers researchers a reliable tool for investigating the function and regulation of this important growth factor in a variety of biological contexts.

IGF1: The insulin-like growth factors, isolated from plasma, are structurally and functionally related to insulin but have a much higher growth-promoting activity. May be a physiological regulator of [1-14C]-2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) transport and glycogen synthesis in osteoblasts. Stimulates glucose transport in rat bone-derived osteoblastic (PyMS) cells and is effective at much lower concentrations than insulin, not only regarding glycogen and DNA synthesis but also with regard to enhancing glucose uptake. Defects in IGF1 are the cause of insulin-like growth factor I deficiency (IGF1 deficiency). IGF1 deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by growth retardation, sensorineural deafness and mental retardation. Belongs to the insulin family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Secreted; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Secreted, signal peptideChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12q23.2Cellular Component: insulin-like growth factor binding protein complex; extracellular space; plasma membrane; extracellular regionMolecular Function: integrin binding; insulin-like growth factor receptor binding; protein binding; growth factor activity; hormone activity; insulin receptor bindingBiological Process: muscle development; positive regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process; exocrine pancreas development; glycolate metabolic process; water homeostasis; positive regulation of glucose import; positive regulation of fibroblast proliferation; proteoglycan biosynthetic process; inner ear development; positive regulation of DNA binding; muscle hypertrophy; platelet activation; positive regulation of protein import into nucleus, translocation; positive regulation of mitosis; regulation of establishment and/or maintenance of cell polarity; positive regulation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase cascade; cell activation; positive regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; insulin-like growth factor receptor signaling pathway; branching morphogenesis of a tube; regulation of gene expression; response to heat; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; alveolus development; positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation; negative regulation of apoptosis; positive regulation of insulin-like growth factor receptor signaling pathway; myoblast proliferation; positive regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation; positive regulation of glycogen biosynthetic process; positive regulation of activated T cell proliferation; positive regulation of smooth muscle cell migration; signal transduction; negative regulation of cell proliferation; glial cell differentiation; platelet degranulation; mammary gland development; positive regulation of MAPKKK cascade; positive regulation of cell proliferation; DNA replication; skeletal development; positive regulation of granule cell precursor proliferation; phosphoinositide-mediated signaling; multicellular organism growth; myotube cell development; regulation of multicellular organism growth; satellite cell compartment self-renewal involved in skeletal muscle regeneration; myoblast differentiation; positive regulation of protein kinase B signaling cascade; positive regulation of osteoblast differentiation; cell proliferation; cellular protein metabolic process; positive regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of Stat5 protein; Ras protein signal transduction; positive regulation of glycolysis; blood vessel remodeling; positive regulation of Ras protein signal transduction; cell motility; blood coagulation; positive regulation of DNA replicationDisease: Insulin-like Growth Factor I Deficiency

NCBI Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene is similar to insulin in function and structure and is a member of a family of proteins involved in mediating growth and development. The encoded protein is processed from a precursor, bound by a specific receptor, and secreted. Defects in this gene are a cause of insulin-like growth factor I deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms that may undergo similar processing to generate mature protein. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
