Abstract excerpt
Structural analogs of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), with alterations to each of the B, C, A, and D domains, have been tested for their ability to form binary complexes with IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and ternary complexes with IGFBP-3 and the acid-labile subunit (alpha-subunit). Two functionally distinct regions of IGF-I have been identified. The first, involving residues 3 and 4...
