The expression vector recombined with the recombinant DNA was transformed into the E.coli for expression. The recombinant DNA resulted from the fusion of the gene coding for the 49-118aa of the human IGF1 protein and the N-terminal 6xHis tag gene. The product was purified and isolated to get the recombinant human IGF1 protein with N-terminal 6xHis tag. The purity of this recombinant IGF1 protein reaches up to 90%. Under SDS-PAGE condition, this recombinant IGF1 protein showed a band with a molecular weight of about 15 kDa on the gel. It may be used in the research of IGF1-participating signal transduction.
IGF-1 is a gene encoding a protein named insulin-like growth factor I (abbreviated IGF1) and belongs to insulin family, which are structurally closely related to pro-insulin. IGF-1 can bind to and activate insulin receptors. The peptide family has two members, IGF-1, the adult form, and IGF-2, the major fetal form. The human IGF-1 gene consists of six exons, including two leader exons, and has two promoters. IGF1 is the major mediator of prenatal and postnatal growth. The disease involved IGF1 is called insulin-like growth factor I deficiency (IGF1 deficiency). IGF1 is produced primarily in liver and serves as an endocrine hormone mediating the action of GH in peripheral tissues such as muscle, cartilage, bone, kidney, nerves, skin, lungs, and the liver itself.
