Gene Information

human ... IGFBP6(3489)

General description

The IGFBP6 (insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 6) gene is mapped to human chromosome 12q13. It belongs to the IGFBP family of proteins. The protein has a IGF (insulin-like growth factor)-binding site and a thyroglobulin type-1 domain. IGFBPs are mainly required to regulate IGFs activities. IGFBP6 strongly interacts with IGF-2, but also interacts with IGF-1. It is also a hypoxia-inducible gene.
Recombinant human IGF-BP6 has a calculated mass of 22.3kDa and consists of 213 amino acid residues including the IGF-BP domain and thyroglobulin type-I domain.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IGFBP6 (insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 6) can suppress growth of various IGF-2 (insulin-like growth factor 2)-dependent tumors. However, it also exhibits IGF-independent activities. IGFBP is suggested as a serum biomarker for proliferative vitreoretinopathy. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection results in downregulation of IGFBP6 via differential methylation.

Physical form

Lyophilized from 10 mM Sodium Citrate, pH 3.5.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-6 is unique among IGFBPs for its IGF-II binding specificity. IGFBP-6 inhibits growth of a number of IGF-II-dependent cancers, including rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma and colon cancer. Although the major action of IGFBP-6 appears to be inhibition
