Long Name:Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3
Entrez Gene IDs: 3486 (Human); 16009 (Mouse)
Background:IGFBP Family
The superfamily of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding proteins include the six high-affinity IGF binding proteins (IGFBP) and several low-affinity binding proteins referred to as IGFBP related proteins (IGFBP-rP). All IGFBP superfamily members are cysteine-rich proteins with conserved cysteine residues, which are clustered in the amino- and carboxy-terminal thirds of the molecule. IGFBPs modulate the biological activities of IGF proteins. Some IGFBPs may also have intrinsic bioactivity that is independent of their ability to bind IGF proteins. Post-translational modifications of IGFBP, including glycosylation, phosphorylation and proteolysis, have been shown to modify the affinities of the binding proteins to IGF.

Product Summary:
The Quantikine Mouse IGFBP-3 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure mouse IGFBP-3 in cell culture supernates and plasma. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant mouse IGFBP-3 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural mouse IGFBP-3 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for naturally occurring mouse IGFBP-3.
Precision:
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay)Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays)Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Recovery:
The recovery of mouse IGFBP-3 spiked to three levels throughout the range of the assay in the cell culture supernate samples was evaluated.

Linearity:
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing high concentrations of mouse IGFBP-3 in each matrix were diluted with Calibrator Diluent and assayed.
