Popis: Bovine insulin-like growth factor 2 (bIGF2) was produced in inclusion bodies in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli and accumulated at high levels: 20-25% of total Coomassie-stained bacterial protein. The level of accumulation of bIGF2 was affected by the choice of codons in the 5' end of the coding sequence and by a rpoH mutation in the host cells. Purified recombinant bIGF2 had the native N terminus and the same mitogenic activity as that of bIGF2 purified from bovine serum.
