Function

Multifunctional protein that plays a critical role in regulating the availability of IGFs such as IGF1 and IGF2 to their receptors and thereby regulates IGF-mediated cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis in a cell-type specific manner (PubMed:10874028, PubMed:19556345). Also exhibits IGF-independent antiproliferative and apoptotic effects mediated by its receptor TMEM219/IGFBP-3R (PubMed:20353938). Inhibits the positive effect of humanin on insulin sensitivity (PubMed:19623253). Promotes testicular germ cell apoptosis (PubMed:19952275). Acts via LRP-1/alpha2M receptor, also known as TGF-beta type V receptor, to mediate cell growth inhibition independent of IGF1 (PubMed:9252371). Mechanistically, induces serine-specific dephosphorylation of IRS1 or IRS2 upon ligation to its receptor, leading to the inhibitory cascade (PubMed:15371331). In the nucleus, interacts with transcription factors such as retinoid X receptor-alpha/RXRA to regulate transcriptional signaling and apoptosis (PubMed:10874028).

Notes

Human IGFBP3 ELISA Kit ab211652 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human IGFBP3 in cell culture supernatant, plasma, serum. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 86.6 pg/mL.

How the assay works

Human IGFBP3 SimpleStep ELISA®employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details.

Assay Specificity

Our SimpleStep ELISA® kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Human IGFBP3 ELISA Kit ab211652 protocol summary

1. Mix: add samples/standards to the wells together with the capture and detector antibody cocktail. Incubate 1 hr at room temperature
2. Wash
3. Add TMB development solution - incubate for 10 min
4. Add Stop solution
5. Read the results on a plate reader at 450 nm

Design your own immunoassay

We offer the antibody pair used in this kit in a BSA and Azide-free format, ready for conjugation:

- Anti-IGFBP3 antibody [EPR18680-153] - BSA and Azide free (Capture) Anti-IGFBP3 antibody [EPR18680-118] - BSA and Azide free (Detector) ab242809
- Anti-IGFBP3 antibody [EPR18680-118] - BSA and Azide free (Detector) Anti-IGFBP3 antibody [EPR18680-118] - BSA and Azide free (Detector) ab242809

Insulin like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) belongs to the family of insulin like growth factor (IGF) binding proteins. IGFBP3 is the main IGF binding protein in plasma, and forms a complex with IGF-I or IGF-II and an acid-labile subunit. IGFBP3 is expressed in multiple tissues, where together with IGFs, they play important roles in glucose homeostasis, cell survival, cell growth and differentiation. The concentrations of IGFBP3 are altered in disease states like type I diabetes, where urinary levels are increased during microalbuminuria, and in prostate cancer, where IGFBP3 protein levels decrease.
