Specifications

Product Data

• Applications: ELISA, WB
• Recommended Dilution: ELISA: Direct: To detect hIGF-BP5 (using 100 μl/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25 - 1.0 μg/ml of this antibody is required. In conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, it allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hIGF-BP5.
  Sandwich: To detect hIGF-BP5 (using 100 μl/well antibody solution) a concentration of
  0.25 - 1.0 μg/ml of this antibody is required. In conjunction with Polyclonal Anti-Human IGF-BP5 as a capture antibody, it allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hIGF-BP5.
  Western blot: To detect hIGF-BP5 this antibody can be used at a concentration of
  0.1 - 0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hIGF-BP5 is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

• Background: IGFBP5 is one of a family of proteins that bind to insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). IGFBP5 is a multifunctional protein which acts not only as a traditional binding protein but also functions as a growth factor independent of IGFs to stimulate bone formation. Currently there are seven named IGF-BPs that form high affinity complexes with both IGFI and IGFII. IGFBP5 is the major IGF-binding protein present in bone tissue and helps potentiate the action of IGFI on smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts or osteoblasts. Data shows that IGFBP5 acts as a growth inhibitor and pro-apoptotic agent in breast cancer cells. IGFBP5 overexpressing mice show an increase in neonatal mortality, reduced female fertility, whole-body growth inhibition and retarded muscle development.
• Synonyms: IGF-binding protein 5, IGFBP-5, IBP5, IBP-5
