Insulin-like Growth factor-I(IGF-I), Human, recombinant, Animal-derived-free

This is a cytokine in which biological raw materials are not used during the culture and purification processes.
Of the two types of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), this product contains IGF-1, which binds to specific receptors and promotes proliferation of various types of cells in culture systems. It works closely with growth hormones to affect physiological crosstalk. Recent studies have shown that IGF-1 promotes cell proliferation and bone formation in rats in a dose-dependent manner. IGF-1 also increases DNA synthesis in fibroblasts and exhibits an insulin-like effect in upregulating glucose intake in adipose tissue and muscle.
