Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 1, IGFBP-1, AFBP, Alpha pregnancy associated endometrial globulin, Amniotic fluid binding protein, Binding protein 25, Binding protein 26, Binding protein 28, Growth hormone independent binding protein, hIGFBP 1, hIGFBP1, IBP 1, IBP1, IGF binding protein 1, IGF BP25, IGFBP 1, Placental protein 12, PP12.
IGF-binding proteins prolong the half-life of the IGFs and have been shown to 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. Promotes cell migration.
