Background Information

IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) family contains members like IGFBP-1, -2, -3, -4,-5 and-6. IGFBPs 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. IGF-I physically interacts with IGFBP-1 and that IGFBP-1 also binds to an integrin receptor, but the effect of IGFBP-1 on cell migration may be independent of IGF-I and is probably mediated through the alpha 5 beta 1 integrin. Transgenic mice models demonstrated that IGFBPs played important roles in the pathogenesis of obesity and INS resistance. Studies conducted in humans demonstrated the close relation between IGFBPs and the components of the metabolic syndrome.
