NCIt definition : Human IGFBP1 wild-type allele is located within 7p13-p12 and is approximately 5 kb
in length. This allele, which encodes insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1,
plays a role in insulin-like growth factor regulation and interactions involving cell
surface receptors.;
NCIt note : Hypoxia appears to upregulate IGFBP1 expression. IGFBP1 binds equally to plasma IGF
I and IGF II with high affinity.;
