Cat.No.
CSC-CTK0207
Description
IGF-BPs controls the distribution, function and activity of IGFs in various cell tissues and body fluids. IGF-BP6 is produced by bone cells and is the major IGF-BP present in cerebrospinal fluid, and specifically inhibits IGF-II actions. IGF-BP6 has been shown to inhibit IGF-II-dependent cancers such as neuroblastoma, colon cancer and rhabdomyosarcoma. Recombinant human IGF- BP6 has a calculated mass of 22.6 kDa and consists of 213 amino acid residues including the IGF- BP domain and thyroglobulin type-I domain. IGF-BP6 migrates at an apparent molecular weight of approximately 23.0-30.0 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis under non-reducing conditions.

Product Overview
Human IGFBP6 expressed in High-5 Insect Cells
Molecular Mass
N/A
Size
CAT# CSC-CTK0207-25 (25 μg); CAT# CSC-CTK0207-125 (125 μg)
Expression System
High-5 Insect Cells
Purity
Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC analysis.
Activity
Determined by its ability to inhibit IGF-II induced proliferation of human MCF-7 cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 0.1 – 0.4 μg/ml.
Endotoxin Level
Less than 1 EU/μg.
Formulation
Sterile-filtered through a 0.2 micron filter. Lyophilized from a protein solution in 10 mM sodium citrate (pH 3.5).
Reconstitution
Please centrifuge product briefly before opening vial. The lyophilized protein should be reconstituted in sterile, ultrapure water or aqueous buffers to a concentration of 0.1- 1.0 mg mg/ml. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers and stored at -20°C for future use.
Storage & Stability
The lyophilized protein, though stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, is best stored desiccated at -20°C. Reconstituted protein should be used immediately or stored long-term in undiluted working aliquots at -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
