Monkey IGF-1 ELISA Kit (Insulin Like Growth Factor 1)

INTENDED USE

Monkey IGF-1 ELISA kit is ideal for measuring amounts of insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1, IGF-I, IGF1A, IGF1B, mechano growth factor, MGF, somatomedin C) present in monkey biological fluids, serum, plasma and tissue homogenates. This assay has a minimum sensitivity detection limit of 0.094 ng/ml.

INTRODUCTION

Insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a polypeptide hormone involved in regulating growth and development during pregnancy or after birth. It is a 70-amino acid polypeptide hormone that was first described as somatomedin C. It stimulates cell division, protein synthesis, glucose uptake and other metabolic activities necessary for growth. It also plays a role in muscle repair and recovery after injury or exercise. IGF1 is also a marker of placental growth and function. In mice, IGF1 is necessary to maintain pregnancy throughout the first eight days after birth, but it is dispensable thereafter.

IGF-1 is a growth factor belonging to the insulin family. It is structurally similar to pro-insulin, it binds and activates insulin receptors in the body. Elevated levels are linked with cancer, diabetes and obesity. IGF-1 is a hormone aids the development and repair of cells, as well as the production of proteins.
