| Gene ID |
3488 |
| Accession | P24593 |
| Alternative Name | IBP-5, IGF-binding protein 5, IGFBP-5, IGF-BP5<br/>Recombinant Human Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 5 (IGFBP5) |
| Species | Human |
| Source | E. coli |
| Description | An IGF-binding protein, IBP-5 is produced by fibroblasts, myoblasts, osteoblasts and vascular smooth muscle cells. IBP-5 has been shown to specifically inhibit breast cancer cell growth by inducing apoptosis. IBP-5 contains an IGFBP domain and a thyroglobulin type-1 domain. |
| Accession | P24593 |
| Functions | N.A. |
| Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2 ?m filtered solution in PBS |
| Solubility | Reconstitute at 100 μg/mL in sterile PBS |
| Appearance | Lyophilized Powder |
| Molecular Weight | 26.5 |
| Purity | >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
| Concentration | <1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method. |
| Shipping Condition | Ambient Temperature |
| Storage Condition | The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70?C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2? - 8?C for one month, or at -20?C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity.
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. |
