Specifications

Product Data

• Applications: ELISA, WB
• Recommended Dilution: ELISA: Direct: To detect hIGF-BP7 by direct ELISA (using 100 μl/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25 - 1.0 μg/ml is required. In conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, it allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hIGF-BP7.
  Western Blot: To detect hIGF-BP7 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hIGF-BP7 is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

• Background: IGF-BPs form high affinity complexes with both IGF-I and IGF-II and act to control of the distribution, function and activity of IGFs in various cell tissues and body fluids. There are seven named IGF-BPs. IGFBP7 plays a role in skeletal myogenesis by binding to IGF in a manner that inhibits IGF induced differentiation of skeletal myoblasts, without affecting IGF induced proliferation. Additionally, IGFBP7 suppresses growth and colony formation of prostate and breast cancer cell lines through an IGF independent mechanism, which causes a delay in the G1 phase of the cell cycle, and increased apoptosis. IGFBP7 is expressed in a wide range of normal human tissues and it usually shows reduced expression in cancer cell lines of prostate, breast, colon, and lung origin.
• Synonyms: IGF-binding protein 7, IGFBP-7, IBP7, IBP-7, IGFBP-rP1, MAC25, PSF, TAF
