Chicken IGF-I

Chicken insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a single chain 70 amino acid polypeptide that shares structural homology with human IGF-I and chicken IGF-II. Eight amino acids are different compared to the sequence of human IGF-I. Chicken IGF-I has been shown to stimulate growth and differentiation in many cell types including chick embryo fibroblasts. Receptor Grade chicken IGF-I is a high quality research reagent particularly for use in studies on cellular and animal growth, for use in specific assays for chicken IGF-I and other general research purposes.
