IGFBP5

SYNONYMS
IGFBP-5, IBP-5, IGF-binding protein 5.


INTRODUCTION
IGFBP5 is a member of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) family and encodes a protein with an IGFBP domain and a thyroglobulin type-I domain. The protein forms a ternary complex with insulin-like growth factor acid-labile subunit (IGFALS) and either insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I or II. In this form, it circulates in the plasma, prolonging the half-life of IGFs and altering their interaction with cell surface receptors. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.


DESCRIPTION
IGFBP5 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is non-glycosylated homodimer containing 2x252 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 28.6kDa.
IGFBP5 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
