uniprot entry name :
IGF2_HUMAN
specificity :
The antisera are specific for the peptide hormone and are suitable for immunoprecipitation of human IGF-II.
form :
Dilute the lyophilized antisera with 0.1 ml of 10 mg/ml BSA in PBS for the equivalent of whole antisera, or with additional buffer for more dilute antisera.
storage stability :
Store aliquots frozen at -20 degree C. Once aliquots are thawed store at 4 degree C (avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles).
tested application :
Immunoprecipitation
app notes :
We recommend that the end user perform a titration experiment (starting at a dilution of 1:250) on their sample using their specific techniques since different laboratories use various techniques.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the insulin family of polypeptide growth factors, which are involved in development and growth. It is an imprinted gene, expressed only from the paternal allele, and epigenetic changes at this locus are associated with Wilms tumour, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, rhabdomyosarcoma, and Silver-Russell syndrome. A read-through INS-IGF2 gene exists, whose 5' region overlaps the INS gene and the 3' region overlaps this gene. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
uniprot summary :
Function: The insulin-like growth factors possess growth-promoting activity. In vitro, they are potent mitogens for cultured cells. IGF-II is influenced by placental lactogen and may play a role in fetal development. Ref.27Preptin undergoes glucose-mediated co-secretion with insulin, and acts as physiological amplifier of glucose-mediated insulin secretion. Exhibits osteogenic properties by increasing osteoblast mitogenic activity through phosphoactivation of MAPK1 and MAPK3. Ref.27. Subcellular location: Secreted. Post-translational modification: O-glycosylated with a core 1 or possibly core 8 glycan. Ref.26 Ref.29. Polymorphism: Genetic variations in IGF2 are associated with body mass index (BMI). The BMI is a statistical measurement which compares a person's weight and height. Involvement in disease: Epigenetic changes of DNA hypomethylation in IGF2 are a cause of Silver-Russell syndrome (SIRS) [. MIM:180860]. SIRS is a clinically heterogeneous condition characterized by severe intrauterine growth retardation, poor postnatal growth, craniofacial features such as a triangular shaped face and a broad forehead, body asymmetry, and a variety of minor malformations. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the insulin family. Mass spectrometry: Molecular mass is 7469.4 Da from positions 25 - 91. Determined by MALDI.
