Human IGFBP-4 Protein, His Tag
Synonym
IGFBP4, IBP-4
Source
Human IGFBP-4, His Tag (IG4-H52E4) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Asp 22 - Glu 258 (Accession # P22692-1).
Predicted N-terminus: Asp 22
Molecular Characterization
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 27.9 kDa. The protein migrates as 33-37 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method / rFC method.
Purity
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Background
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 4 (IGFBP-4) is also known as IGF-binding protein 4, which contains an IGFBP domain and a thyroglobulin type-I domain. IGFBP-4 binds both insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) I and II and circulates in the plasma in both glycosylated and non-glycosylated forms. Binding of this protein prolongs the half-life of the IGFs and alters their interaction with cell surface receptors. IGFBP-4 is a unique protein and it consistently inhibits several cancer cells in vivo and in vitro. Its inhibitory action has been shown in vivo in prostate and colon. IGFBP-4 is secreted by all colon cancer cells.
