Product details:
Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.
Recommended control
: Human wild-type HCT116 cell line (ab288559). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

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.
