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

This ELISA kit applies to the in vitro quantitative determination of Mouse IGF-2 concentrations in Serum, plasma and other biological fluids. Photometric. Detection Range: 0.78~50pg/mL. Sensitivity: 0.47pg/mL. 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] Assay Time: 3.5h. Tested Sample Types: Serum, plasma and other biological fluids
