This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 degrees C, but should be kept at -20 degrees C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is most stable at -20 to -80 degrees C, and can be stored for one week at 2-8 degrees C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 degrees C to -80 degrees C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Purity

> 98 % pure by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

Endotoxin Level

Less than 1 EU/ug of IGFBP-3 as determined by LAL method.

Predicted Molecular Mass

28.8 kDa.
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Activity

Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by inhibiting IGF-II induced proliferation of serum free human MCF-7 cells is less than 200 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 5.0 x 10^3 IU/mg in the presence of 15 ng/ml of rHuIGF-II.

Background: IGFBP-3

Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein 3 (IGF-BP3) belongs to the IGFBP family, which are all cysteinerich proteins with conserved cysteine and have an IGFBP domain and a thyroglobulin type-I domain. Mature human IGF-BP3 contains 264 a.a. with three potential N-linked and two potential O-linked glycosylation sites. It is expressed by most tissues and has higher levels during extrauterine life and peak during puberty. The expression of IGF-BP3 in fibroblasts is stimulated by mitogenic growth factors such as Bombesin, Vasopressin, PDGF, and EGF. The protein forms a ternary complex with IGF-I or II and acid-labile subunit. In this form, it circulates in the plasma, prolonging the half-life of IGFs and altering their interaction with cell surface receptors. Decreased plasma levels of IGF-BP3 often happen during the progression of prostate cancer from benign to metastatic disease.
