Insulin-Like Growth Factor I (IGF1, IGF I, IGF-I, IBP1, Mechano Growth Factor, MGF, Somatomedia C, Somatomedin C) (AP)

Insulin Like Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) is a polypeptide growth factor which stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of cell types including muscle, bone, and cartilage tissue. Recombinant Human IGF-I is a single, nonglycosylated, 7.6kD protein containing 70 amino acid residues. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) is involved in regulation of neuronal growth and development in central and peripheral nervous system. It is known to protect neurons against cell death induced by amyloidogenic derivatives, glucose or serum deprivation through pathways involving AKT kinase and transcription factor...
