GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
IGFBP1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
AFBP, hIGFBP-1, IBP1, IGF-BP25, PP12
Description
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) family and encodes a protein with an IGFBP domain and a thyroglobulin type-I domain. The protein binds both insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) I and II and circulates in the plasma. Binding of this protein prolongs the half-life of the IGFs and alters their interaction with cell surface receptors. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
