IGF1R Antibody recognizes insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R), a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase that mediates cellular responses to insulin-like growth factors. Also designated CD221, IGF1R belongs to the insulin receptor subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases. The mature receptor is a disulfide-linked heterotetramer composed of two extracellular alpha chains and two membrane-spanning beta chains. The alpha chains participate in ligand binding, while the beta chains contain the intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. IGF1R binds IGF1 with high affinity and can also interact with IGF2 and insulin at lower affinity.
Ligand binding induces receptor activation and autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues within the kinase domain. Activated IGF1R phosphorylates signaling adaptors including insulin receptor substrates and SHC proteins, connecting the receptor to pathways that regulate proliferation, survival, metabolism, and protein synthesis. Two prominent downstream signaling routes are the PI3K-AKT and RAS-MAPK pathways. IGF1R signaling can also interact with additional signaling networks, illustrating the receptor's broad role in coordinating extracellular growth signals with intracellular responses.
IGF1R has important functions in normal growth and development and is widely studied in cancer biology. Altered receptor expression and IGF signaling have been investigated in multiple malignancies because IGF1R-mediated signaling can influence cell proliferation, survival, migration, and resistance to apoptosis. The receptor can also form hybrid receptors with the insulin receptor, adding another level of regulation to insulin and insulin-like growth factor signaling. These biological connections make the Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Receptor Antibody relevant to studies of receptor expression and IGF-associated signaling mechanisms.
This mouse monoclonal antibody is derived from clone IGF1R/4667 and has been characterized by protein microarray analysis. Protein Microarray Validated status provides additional evidence of target recognition and specificity within a large protein panel. NSJ Bioreagents supplies this reagent for research investigating IGF1R biology and growth factor signaling. An IGF1R Antibody can be used to examine insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor expression in studies of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling, cellular growth, and survival.
