The insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP) superfamily.
Over the last decade, the concept of an IGFBP family has been well accepted, based on structural similarities and on functional abilities to bind IGFs with high affinities. The existence of other potential IGFBPs was left open. The discovery of proteins with N-terminal domains bearing striking structural similarities to the N terminus of the IGFBPs, and with reduced, but demonstrable, affinity ...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor-binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) stimulates phosphorylation of the IGFBP-5 receptor.
The finding that insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) binding to mouse osteoblasts was capable of being downregulated by IGFBP-5 suggested that the 420-kDa membrane protein, which interacted with IGFBP-5, may be a signaling receptor (Andress, D. L. J. Biol. Chem. 270: 28289-28296, 1995). In the current study, a carboxy-terminal IGFBP-5 peptide, IGFBP-5-(201-218), which w...
متن کاملpolymorphism of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (igfbp-3) gene associated with growth traits in cyprinus carpio
the genetic polymorphism of insulin-like growth factor binding protein ( igfbp-3 ) and its association with the growth traits namely condition factor, body weight, and total length were investigated in common carp cyprinus carpio using pcr- single strand conformation polymorphism (sscp) technique. caudal fin clips from 120 c. carpio , aging 5 months, were used in this study and a 330 bp dna fra...
متن کاملBinding properties and distribution of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-related protein 3 (IGFBP-rP3/NovH), an additional member of the IGFBP Superfamily.
The protein product of the novH oncogene, a member of the CCN family, is structurally related to the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding proteins (IGFBPs). We have characterized aspects of structure, function, and distribution of this protein, which, as IGFBP-related protein 3 (IGFBP-rP3), is a proposed member of the IGFBP Superfamily. Affinity cross-linking experiments performed with bacu...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-4 and IGFBP-5 expression in breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Expression of estrogen-regulated genes has been considered as potential predictive markers for endocrine therapy. We focused on two insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs): IGFBP-4, which is an early-responsive estrogen-induced gene, and IGFBP-5, which is an estrogen-repressed gene. Investigation of IGFBP-4 and IGFBP-5 expression would provide important information for p...
