IGF-1 Antibody SPM406 / Insulin Growth Factor Antibody recognizes insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), a secreted polypeptide growth factor structurally related to insulin. Also known as Somatomedin C, IGF1 is an important mediator of growth hormone activity and participates in the regulation of somatic growth, cellular proliferation, differentiation, survival, and metabolism. IGF1 is produced as a precursor protein and subsequently processed to generate the mature growth factor that participates in endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine signaling.
IGF1 exerts many of its biological effects through the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R), a receptor tyrosine kinase that activates downstream pathways including PI3K-AKT and RAS-MAPK. These signaling networks influence protein synthesis, cell-cycle progression, glucose and lipid metabolism, and resistance to apoptosis. IGF1 activity is further regulated by insulin-like growth factor binding proteins, which influence its stability, distribution, and availability for receptor binding.
The IGF1 signaling axis is widely investigated in developmental biology, metabolism, aging, and cancer. Altered IGF1 production or signaling can influence normal growth and tissue homeostasis, while increased IGF1-IGF1R pathway activity has been studied in relation to tumor progression and resistance to apoptosis. These functions make IGF1 an important target for research into endocrine growth regulation, growth-factor signaling, metabolic control, and mechanisms involved in malignant cell survival.
Clone SPM406 is a mouse monoclonal antibody generated using purified human IGF1 protein as the immunogen. The datasheet reports specificity for IGF1 with minimal cross-reaction with the listed related proteins. NSJ Bioreagents offers this IGF-1 Antibody for researchers investigating IGF1 expression and growth-factor biology. An IGF-1 Antibody such as this Insulin Growth Factor Antibody provides an additional monoclonal clone for investigating the expression and biological roles of insulin-like growth factor 1.
For an alternative IGF1 reagent with western blot, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and tissue-based validation, see our IGF1 Antibody / Somatomedin C Antibody page.
The optimal dilution of the IGF-1 Antibody SPM406 / Insulin Growth Factor Antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.
