Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), also called somatomedin C, is a protein hormone that plays an important role in childhood growth and continues to have anabolic effects in adults. Measuring IGF-1 levels is used to test for growth hormone deficiency and excess in acromegaly and gigantism. This certified Snap-N-Spike(R) solution of the fully-intact IGF-1 protein is suitable for use as starting material for calibrators and controls in IGF-1 LC/MS testing applications.
