Human Insulin Like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) ELISA Kit

IGF2 is a 7.5 kDa mitogenic peptide hormone structurally related to insulin and the somatomedins, best known for regulating fetal and placental growth through genomic imprinting. Dysregulated IGF2 expression is implicated in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and several solid tumors, including Wilms tumor, hepatoblastoma, and colorectal carcinoma, which is why sensitive quantitation of IGF2 in clinical specimens is a frequent objective in growth biology and oncology research. The Assay Genie microplate immunoassay supplies pre-coated wells, a biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, TMB substrate, and a recombinant IGF2 standard set calibrated for building a multi-point standard curve. Researchers load a 50 μL sample aliquot of clarified specimen into each well, incubate, wash, and develop the chromogenic reaction before reading absorbance and interpolating concentrations. Unused components should be kept refrigerated; reconstituted reagents are best aliquoted and stored frozen to limit freeze-thaw damage and preserve antibody activity. Intended for research use only and not cleared for diagnostic or therapeutic decision-making.
