What Does IGFBP Stand For?

IGFBP stands for Insulin Like Growth Factor Binding Proteins

Insulin Like Growth Factor Binding Proteins (IGFBP) are a family of proteins that regulate the activity of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) in the body. They modulate the interaction between IGFs and their receptors, influencing cellular growth, proliferation, and survival. IGFBPs play essential roles in various physiological processes, including growth and development, metabolism, and tissue repair, while also participating in pathological conditions such as cancer and metabolic disorders.
