Abstract excerpt
IGF-I and IGF-II (IGFs) form higher molecular weight complexes with specific binding proteins (IGFBP-1 to -6). These complexes are referred to as binary complexes consisting of IGF-I or IGF-II and one IGFBP, or as ternary complexes each consisting of either of IGF-I or IGF-II, IGFBP-3 or -5, and an acid-labile subunit known as ALS. Ternary complex formation restricts the IGFs to the circulation and prolongs their...
