Synthesized peptide derived from part region of human protein
function:IGF-binding proteins prolong the half-life of IGFs and have been shown to either inhibit or stimulate the growth promoting effects of the IGFs in cell culture. They alter the interaction of IGFs with their cell surface receptors (By similarity). May be a putative tumor suppressor protein.,induction:Down-regulated in multiple tumors.,similarity:Contains 1 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 IGFBP N-terminal domain.,similarity:Contains 1 Kazal-like domain.,tissue specificity:Expressed at the highest level in both brain and testis, with lower levels in the prostate, bladder and lung.,
