Available Options

Select the variant that best fits your experiment. Availability and lead time may vary by option.

  • Options: Size (3) — 2 ug, 10 ug, 1 mg
  • Lead time: options listed as “in stock at manufacturer” typically ship in 5–7 business days; other statuses may take longer.
  • Storage: Lyophilized Pro-IGF2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Pro-IGF2 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Shipping: cold-chain shipment (typically with ice packs).
  • Upon receipt: store at the recommended temperature as soon as possible.
  • Sales terms and conditions: Please review prior to ordering.

Storage Lyophilized Pro-IGF2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Pro-IGF2 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Target FACTOR-2

Recombinant Human Pro-Insulin Like Growth Factor-2 is supplied as a recombinant protein for in vitro research use.

Background

IGF-2 is a member of the insulin family of polypeptide growth factors that is involved in development and growth. It is an imprinted gene and is expressed only from the paternally inherited allele. It is a candidate gene for eating disorders. There is a read-through, INS-IGF2, which aligns to this gene at the 3' region and to the upstream INS gene at the 5' region. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

Product format

Provided as a recombinant protein suitable for in vitro workflows such as binding studies, screening, and assay development. Refer to the specifications table for expression format and molecular properties.

What is the purity of Recombinant Human Pro-Insulin Like Growth Factor-2 (Human)?
Greater than 90% as obsereved by SDS-PAGE. BioHippo includes a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming purity per lot with every order.
What buffer / formulation is this protein supplied in?
Supplied as: The Pro-IGF2 was lyophilized in 50mM Sodium Acetate pH 4.5 and 350mM NaCl. Reconstitute lyophilized material in sterile ultrapure water or the recommended buffer per the datasheet prior to use.
How should Recombinant Human Pro-Insulin Like Growth Factor-2 (Human) be stored?
Lyophilized Pro-IGF2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Pro-IGF2 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. Prepare single-use aliquots after reconstitution to avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
Is this protein biologically active?
The specific activity was determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of MCF-7 cells (human breast cancer cell line) and is typically 2-8ng/ml. Refer to the product datasheet for recommended assay conditions and controls.
Is this protein approved for clinical or in vitro diagnostic use?
No. Supplied for Research Use Only (RUO) — not intended for therapeutic applications or in vitro diagnostic procedures.
Can I request a custom size, tag variant, or formulation?
Yes. BioHippo can accommodate custom requests including alternative sizes, His/GST/Fc tag variants, bulk quantities, and custom formulations. See the Customization & Add-ons tab or email support@biohippo.com.
