Mouse IGF-2 (Insulin Like Growth Factor 2) CLIA Kit

ELISA Type: CLIA. Sensitivity: 7.5 pg/mL. Range: 12.5--800 pg/mL. Protein function: The insulin-like growth factors possess growth-promoting activity (Probable). Major fetal growth hormone in mammals. Plays a key role in regulating fetoplacental development (Probable) (PubMed:2330056, PubMed:12087403). IGF-II is influenced by placental lactogen (Probable). Also involved in tissue differentiation (Probable). Positively regulates myogenic transcription factor MYOD1 function by facilitating the recruitment of transcriptional coactivators, thereby controlling muscle terminal differentiation (PubMed:16901893). In adults, involved in glucose metabolism in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver (Probable). Acts as a ligand for integrin which is required for IGF2 signaling. [The UniProt Consortium]
