Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) is a key growth factor widely used in cultivated meat production due to its essential role in promoting cell proliferation and differentiation. IGF-1 supports the growth and viability of muscle and fat cells, making it critical for achieving the desired texture and nutritional profiles in cultivated meat products.
Source
Recombinant BioBov bovine CBD-IGF-1 (IGF-1 fused to a cellulose binding domain) is produced in N. tabacum leaves.
Biological Activity
Recombinant BioBov CBD-IGF-1 is comparable to a commercially available, highly purified (>95%) counterpart, as determined by a cell viability assay in 3T3 fibroblast cells.
