IGF2 mRNA and protein are expressed in human spermatozoa. RT-PCR analysis (A), immunoblots (B), and densitometric analysis (C) of IGF2 in human spermatozoa. MA5-17096, clone 8H1, detects IGF2 which has a predicted molecular weight of approximately 20.1 kDa. The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the mentioned predicted molecular weight due to post-translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors, as shown by the presence of other bands at the highest molecular weight (in particular at 35 KDa). Data represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments, each performed in triplicate. Porcine Sertoli cells (SCs) were used as a positive control. Magnification 100x.
