Description:

Chicken Insulin-like Growth Factor-II (Chicken IGF-II) is a polypeptide of 66 amino acids, twelve of which differ from the amino acid sequence of human IGF-II. Chicken IGF-II stimulates growth and differentiation in many cell types, including rat L6 myoblasts and chicken embryo fibroblasts.
