IGFBP2 (insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2) is a secreted protein belonging to the IGF-binding protein family, which is widely involved in a variety of biological processes such as cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis and tumor progression. It regulates the activity of the IGF signaling pathway by binding to IGF-I and IGF-II, prolongs the half-life of IGF, and affects its bioavailability. IGFBP2 exhibits aberrant expression in a wide range of diseases, especially in tumors, where its high expression is closely related to malignant progression of tumors, metastasis and poor prognosis. In addition, IGFBP2 plays important roles in physiological processes such as nerve repair, energy metabolism and cell proliferation. For example, it promotes neuronal regeneration and glial cell proliferation, improves insulin resistance, and regulates the cell cycle. In the field of oncology, IGFBP2 can be used as both potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target. Properties Storage Instructions All the reagents are stored at 2-8℃ for 6 months or -20℃ for 12 months. Refer to the protocol for further storage instructions.

How should I handle samples requiring high dilution factors? Answer: We recommend performing a serial dilution. For example, if human serum requires a 1,000,000-fold dilution, you can use a three-step 100× dilution method as follows: Step 1: Take 2 uL of human serum and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 100-fold diluted sample. Step 2: Take 2 uL of the 100-fold diluted sample and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 10,000-fold diluted sample. Step 3: Take 2 uL of the 10,000-fold diluted sample and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 1,000,000-fold diluted sample. If further dilution is required, additional serial steps can be used. We do not recommend using any other solutions or water for dilution, except for the sample diluent we suggest. If your sample diluent is still insufficient, please contact our customer service for more sample diluent.
