Insulin-Like growth factor binding protein 1 - CISMeF
Insulin-Like growth factor binding protein 1MeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : Insulin-Like growth factor binding protein 1;
MeSH definition : One of the six homologous proteins that specifically bind insulin-like growth factors
(SOMATOMEDINS) and modulate their mitogenic and metabolic actions. The function of
this protein is not completely defined. However, several studies demonstrate that
it inhibits IGF binding to cell surface receptors and thereby inhibits IGF-mediated
mitogenic and cell metabolic actions. (Proc Soc Exp Biol Med 1993;204(1):4-29);
MeSH synonym : igfbp-1; igf-binding protein 1; igf binding protein 1; insulin like growth factor binding protein 1;
MeSH annotation : /biosyn /drug eff /physiol /ultrastruct permitted; DF: note short X refs;
