Target Details

Target: IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF1))

Alternative Name: Insulin-Like Growth Factor I,igf1

Background: The protein encoded by this gene is similar to insulin in function and structure and is a member of a family of proteins involved in mediating growth and development. The encoded protein is processed from a precursor, bound by a specific receptor, and secreted. Defects in this gene are a cause of insulin-like growth factor I deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms that may undergo similar processing to generate mature protein.
