Recombinant Mouse IGF-II Protein

Endotoxin Levels: <0.1EU/µg of the protein by LAL method. Protein function: The insulin-like growth factors possess growth-promoting activity (PubMed:29440408). Major fetal growth hormone in mammals. Plays a key role in regulating fetoplacental development (Probable) (PubMed:2330056, PubMed:12087403). IGF2 is influenced by placental lactogen (Probable). Also involved in tissue differentiation (Probable). 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. Positively regulates myogenic transcription factor MYOD1 function by facilitating the recruitment of transcriptional coactivators, thereby controlling muscle terminal differentiation (PubMed:16901893). Inhibits myoblast differentiation and modulates metabolism via increasing the mitochondrial respiration rate (PubMed:32557799). [The UniProt Consortium]
