General description

Insulin-like growth factors -I and -II are important regulators of signalling that mediates growth and metabolism in cells. Insulin-like growth factor -II (IGF-II) is widely expressed during embryonic stages and regulates the placental development. IGF-II acts via specific receptor, IGF-IIR, the binding does not result in signal transduction, but is a mechanism to restrict the bioavailability of IGF-II. IGF-II also binds to IGF-IR which results in the activation of MAPK, Raf/Ras and PI3K cascades. The effects of IGF-II signalling are important in growth of blood vessels (angiogenesis) gene transcription, proliferation and transformation. Irregular IGF-II signaling has been implicated in many cancers including lung cancer, colo-rectal cancer, cervical cancer, testicular cancer, rhabdosarcoma, melanoma and hepatoblastoma
Anti-IGF-II recognizes human insulin-like growth factor II. It does not react with human IGF-I.

Specificity

The antibody will neutralize the biological activity of recombinant human IGF-II. It does not neutralize the biological activity of recombinant human IGF-I.

Immunogen

recombinant human IGF-II

Application

Anti- IGF-II antibody may be used for neutralization reactions, the ND50 of the antibody is 0.2-0.8 μg/ml. This antibody was used to neutralize IGF-II in glioblastoma cell lines. For immunohistochemistry a working antibody concentration of 5-15 μg/ml may be used for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human placenta sections. The antibody is suitable for immunoblotting.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, with 5% trehalose

In mammals, the insulin receptor (IR) gene has acquired an additional exon, exon 11. This exon may be skipped in a developmental and tissue-specific manner. The IR, therefore, occurs in two isoforms (exon 11 minus IR-A and exon 11 plus

Glioblastoma is the most common and malignant form of primary astrocytoma. Upon investigation of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway, we found the IGF2BP3/IMP3 transcript and protein to be up-regulated in GBMs but not in lower grade astrocytomas (p <

Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF2) is perhaps the most intricately regulated of all growth factors characterized to date. Its gene is imprinted--only one allele is active, depending on parental origin--and this pattern of expression is maintained epigenetically in almost all
