Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) is an important regulator of normal and malignant cell growth. It modulates the mitogenic effects of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) by inhibiting growth through mechanisms both dependent on and independent of IGF binding. IGF-I and IGF-II levels are regulated by binding to the IGF-II receptor, which is inactivated by mutation in human gastrointestinal...
