Function | 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. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted. |
Tissue Specificity | Osteosarcoma, and at lower levels in liver, kidney and brain. |
