Additional Information:
The Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor (IGF1) is also known as CD221, JTK13. and is a transmembrane receptor that is activated by IGF-1 and by the related growth factor IGF-2. It belongs to the large class of tyrosine kinase receptors. This receptor mediates the effects of IGF-1, which is a polypeptide protein hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin. IGF1R is make up of two alpha subunits and two beta subunits,the Both the ? and ? subunits are synthesized from a single mRNA precursor. The precursor is then glycosylated, proteolytically cleaved, and crosslinked by cysteine bonds to form a functional transmembrane ?? chain.The ? chains are located extracellularly while the ? subunit spans the membrane and are responsible for intracellular signal transduction upon ligand stimulation. IGF1R have a binding site for ATP, which is used to provide the phosphates for autophosphorylation. There is a 60% homology between IGF1R and the insulin receptor. In response to ligand binding, the ? chains induce the tyrosine autophosphorylation of the ? chains. This event triggers a cascade of intracellular signaling that, while somewhat cell type specific, often promotes cell survival and cell proliferation.
This protein carries a polyhistidine Tag at the C-terminal. This protein contains a furin convertase cleavage site, 738-RRRR-741, and will be partially processed into N (? chain) and C-terminal fragment (partial ? chain) with calculated MW of 81.3 kDa and. At Innovative Research we provide reliable, consistent products that deliver reliable, consistent results.
