Gene Information

human ... IGF1R(3480)

General description

IGF1R (insulin-like growth factor I) is a receptor tyrosine kinase. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 15q26. It is expressed in various solid tumors as well as hematologic malignancies.

Application

Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor human has been used to study the binding constants of estradiol to insulin, insulin receptors and insulin-like peptides.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IGF-I receptor, a tyrosine kinase receptor with signal transduction pathways, is comprised of two α and two β subunits. IGF-I receptor binds IGF-I with high affinity, IGF-II with lower affinity, and insulin with weak affinity.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm solution in phosphate buffered saline.

Analysis Note

As a result of glycosylation in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the recombinant α subunit migrates as a doublet of ~120 kDa and 150 kDa and the β subunit migrates as doublet of ~46 kDa and 50 kDa.
The biological activity is measured by its ability to bind human IGF­-­I in a functional ELISA assay.

Insulin (INS) resistance associated with hyperestrogenemias occurs in gestational diabetes mellitus, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, estrogen therapies, metabolic syndrome, and obesity. The mechanism by which INS and estrogen interact is unknown. We hypothesize that estrogen binds directly to
