Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-6 Transgenic Mice: Postnatal Growth, Brain Development, and Reproduction Abnormalities
3 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
In biological fluids, IGFs bind to six distinct binding proteins (IGFBP-1 to -6). IGFBP-6 is of particular interest because it has been shown to inhibit proliferation in many cell types and to be synthesized in the central nervous system (CNS). It also has the strongest affinity for IGF-II among the IGFBPs. To study IGFBP-6 function in vivo, we established IGFBP-6 transgenic mice in which human IGFBP-6 (hIGFBP-6)...
