REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

The IGF1 Receptor often referred to as IGF-1R is a transmembrane receptor protein composed of alpha and beta subunits. Studies indicate that the IGF1R protein is involved in mediating the effects of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and plays an important role in cellular signaling. It has a molecular weight of approximately 180 kDa and is widely expressed in various tissues with high concentrations in the liver muscle and brain. Being a tyrosine kinase receptor IGF1R plays an essential role in growth and metabolism.
Biological function summary
IGF1R contributes to several cellular processes including cell proliferation differentiation and survival. This receptor forms a complex upon ligand binding and undergoes autophosphorylation to activate intracellular signaling cascades. IGF1R activation recruits and phosphorylates insulin receptor substrates enabling the downstream signaling pathways that promote cell growth and survival. Its function in cellular responses makes it a focal point in understanding cell biology.
Pathways
IGF1R holds a central position in the PI3K/AKT and MAPK signaling cascades. These pathways play significant roles in cellular growth proliferation and survival. IGF1R phosphorylates various downstream effectors such as IRS-1 and Shc linking it to the activation of AKT and ERK respectively. Therefore it shares pathways with related proteins like the insulin receptor highlighting its importance in mediating similar biological responses.
IGF1R has been implicated in cancers and diabetes. Overexpression of IGF1R has been observed in various malignancies including breast cancer where it relates to resistance in treatment and poor prognosis with cell lines like MCF-7 often being studied in this context. Additionally disruptions in IGF1R signaling link to insulin resistance an important feature of type 2 diabetes. These connections make IGF1R a potential therapeutic target with IGF1R inhibitors currently under exploration to address these health challenges.
