insulin-like growth factor [IGF]-binding protein

Function

• IGF-binding proteins prolong the half-life of the IGFs
• thery either inhibit or stimulate the growth promoting effects of the IGFs on cell culture
• they alter the interaction of IGFs with their cell surface receptors

More general terms

• secreted protein
