Recombinant human IGFBP-4 binds human IGF-I in a dose-dependent manner (black circles). The binding of human IGF-I to human IGFBP-4 is blocked (purple circles) by increasing concentrations of anti-human IGFBP-4 monoclonal antibody (Clone A15038E). The ND50 is typically 4 - 12 µg/mL.

Human IGFBP-4 was initially cloned from the human placenta, liver, and ovary cDNA libraries. Seven IGFBPs has been described that modulate the IGF activity. IGFBPs structurally are characterized by three domains: the amino-terminal, the carboxyl-terminal, and an intermediate variable L-domain. Some IGFBPs bind to the extracellular matrix (IGFBP-2, -3, and -5) or the cell membrane (IGFBP-1, -2, -3, and -5). The IGF binding activity of IGFBP-4 is mainly localized in the N-terminal region. IGFBP-4 is the smallest IGFBP, and there is no evidence for cell surface or ECM association of IGFBP-4. In addition, it contains an N-linked glycosylation site and exists in biological fluids as a doublet of 24 kD nonglycosylated and a 28 kD glycosylated forms. IGFBP-4 binds both IGF-I and IGF-II with similar affinities. Nevertheless, it is generally coexpressed with IGF-II during development. Proteolysis is the main regulatory mechanism of IGFBP-4 activity. Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) was identified as an IGF-dependent IGFBP-4 protease. It belongs to the metzincin superfamily of metalloproteinases and cleaves IGFBP-4 at a single site. IGFBP-4 has potent IGF-independent anti-angiogenic and antitumorigenic effects, activities that are located in the C-terminal, and a region containing a thyroglobulin type 1 (Tg1) domain.

Antigen Details
- Distribution
-
It is expressed in a variety of tissues and cells such as embryonic and postnatal brain, human osteoblast-like cells, skin fibroblasts, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, intestinal epithelium, and in a variety of tumor cells.
- Function
- IGFBP-4 inhibits the action of IGFI and II by preventing their binding to their receptors. The binding affinity of IGFBP-4 for IGFs is regulated by proteolysis through PAPP-A.

Related FAQs
- Do you guarantee that your antibodies are totally pathogen free?
-
BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house aside from the GoInVivo™ product line. However, upon request, this can be tested on a custom basis with an outside, independent laboratory.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody by functional assay?
-
No, BioLegend does not test Ultra-LEAF™ antibodies by functional assays unless otherwise indicated. Due to the possible complexities and variations of uses of biofunctional antibodies in different assays and because of the large product portfolio, BioLegend does not currently perform functional assays as a routine QC for the antibodies. However, we do provide references in which the antibodies were used for functional assays and we do perform QC to verify the specificity and quality of the antibody based on our strict specification criteria.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for potential pathogens?
-
No, BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house unless otherwise indicated. However, we can recommend an outside vendor to perform this testing as needed.
- Have you tested this Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for in vivo or in vitro applications?
-
We don't test our antibodies for in vivo or in vitro applications unless otherwise indicated. Depending on the product, the TDS may describe literature supporting usage of a particular product for bioassay. It may be best to further consult the literature to find clone specific information.
