When recombinant human IGFBP-5 is immobilized at 0.5 μg/mL, biotinylated recombinant human IGF-II binds in a dose-dependent manner with ED50 range of 0.9 – 5.4 ng/mL. HRP Avidin (Cat. No. 405103) was used to detect the binding. -
Stability Testing for Recombinant Human IGFBP-5. Human IGFBP-5 was aliquoted in 40 mM sodium citrate, pH4 at 0.2 mg/mL. One aliquot was frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaw), and compared to a control kept at 4⁰C (Control). The samples were tested in a binding assay with biotinylated recombinant human IGF-II. The ED50 for this effect is 0.9 – 5.4 ng/mL.

Seven IGFBPs have been described to modulate the IGF activity. IGFBPs transport IGFs, in which they may inhibit mitogenesis, differentiation, survival, and other IGF-stimulated events. IGFBPs structurally are characterized by three domains: the amino-terminal, the carboxi-terminal, and an intermedia or variable L-domain. Members of the IGFBP family exhibit 67–70% structural homology. The greatest homology among the IGFBPs is in the N- and C-terminal regions. Some IGFBPs bind to the extracellular matrix (IGFBP-2, -3, -5, and -6). In fact, a heparin-binding domain (HBD) has been identified in the C-terminal region of these binding proteins. IGFBP-5 is the most conserved IGFBP in mammals. Additionally, human and mouse IGFBP-5 are 97% identical. The IGFBPs bind IGFs with high affinity (kD ∼0.1 nM), and this binding restricts the interaction of IGFs to their receptors. The release of the IGFs from IGFBP-5 is mediated by proteolysis; it has been described that IGFBP-5 is cleaved by ADAM-12, ADAM-9, C1s, and PAPPs (pregnancy-associated plasma proteases) A and A2. IGFBP-5 plays a key role in tissue repair and regeneration. IGFBP-5 is overexpressed in fibrotic lung tissues from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In vitro, IGFBP-5 induces the production of ECM components while in vivo, IGFBP-5 initiates the development of dermal and pulmonary fibrosis. In addition, IGFBP-5 induces lung fibroblast and mononuclear cell migration in an IGF-I–independent manner. IGFBP-5 plays an important role in mammary development, involution, and breast cancer metastasis. IGFBP-5 has nuclear localization sequence that mediates β-importin-dependent translocation to the nucleus, where it interacts with the vitamin D receptor and modulates the vitamin D response in osteoblasts.

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?
-
We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
