IGFBP3 Antibodies

Target Information

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. Also exhibits IGF-independent antiproliferative and apoptotic effects mediated by its receptor TMEM219/IGFBP-3R. Expressed by most tissues. Present in plasma. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
