Scientific Background

IGFBP1, Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1, also known as placental protein 12 (PP12), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGFBP1 gene. The IGFBP1 gene has 4 exons and spans 5.9 kb. The IGFBP1gene is localized to 7p13-p12 by in situ hybridization. This gene is a member of the Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP) family and encodes a protein with an IGFBP domain and a type-I thyroglobulin domain. The protein binds both insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) I and II and circulates in the plasma. Binding of this protein prolongs the half-life of the IGFs and alters their interaction with cell surface receptors. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
