Anti-IGF2 Antibody from rabbit, purified by affinity chromatography

Human Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) contains 67 amino acids and shares similar structural features with IGF1, including a 62% sequence homology. In human plasma, IGF1 and IGF2 are associated with IGF-binding proteins that transport the polypeptides and partially regulate their actions in vivo. In addition to the insulin receptor, IGF2 binds to two forms of IGF receptors, both of which are widely distributed in different tissues and cultured cells. IGF2 is mitogenic for a variety of cultured cells, including mouse 3T3 cells,12 normal rat kidney cells, human or chicken fibroblasts and MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells.
