Total IGFBP-3 ELISA by Ansh Labs

IGFBP-3 exhibits intrinsic growth-regulating effects that are not yet fully understood, but have evoked interest with regards to a possible role of IGFBP-3 as a prognostic tumor marker. Low IGFBP-3 and IGF-I levels are observed in GH deficiency or GH resistance, also epidemiologic studies suggest that low IGFBP-3 is associated with greater risk of aggressive, metastatic prostate cancers. The elevated serum IGFBP-3 and IGF-I levels indicate a sustained overproduction of GH, or excessive rhGH therapy. Both conditions are associated with generalized organomegaly, hypertension, diabetes, cardiomyopathy, osteoarthritis, and diminished longevity.

The Ansh Labs' Total IGFBP-3 ELISA kit is a quantitative two-step sandwich immunoassay.  The Ansh Labs Total IGFBP-3 Assay uses an acidification and neutralization method to dissociate IGFBP-3 from all the binding subunits.
