IGFBP-3 inhibits Wnt signaling in metastatic melanoma cells. [PDF]
In previous works, we have shown that insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), a tissue and circulating protein able to bind to IGFs, decreases drastically in the blood serum of patients with diffuse metastatic melanoma.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor I, Insulin-like Growth factor Binding Protein 3, and Atrial Fibrillation in the Elderly [PDF]
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) are involved in oxidative stress and atherosclerosis; however, the relationship between the IGF-I system and atrial fibrillation (AF) is not known. The objective of this analysis was to assess, the relationship between IGF-I and IGFBP-3 serum levels and AF ...

Cumulative mutagenesis of the basic residues in the 201-218 region of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein-5 results in progressive loss of both IGF-I binding and inhibition of IGF-I biological action [PDF]
We have reported previously that mutation of two conserved nonbasic amino acids (G203 and Q209) within the highly basic 201–218 region in the C-terminal domain of IGF-binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) decreases binding to IGFs.

Increased circulating insulin-like growth factor-1 in late-onset Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Background: Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease ( AD). Methods: We compared the level of circulating total and bioavailable IGF-1, by simultaneous measurements of IGF-1 and IGF binding ...

Insulin-like growth factor-I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 serum levels in ankylosing spondylitis [PDF]
Low bone mass, vertebral osteopenia and fractures have been described in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but the aetiology of this osteoporosis (OP) remains unknown. Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), a bone-promoting peptide, may be considered as reflecting osteoblast function as well as its main binding protein, insulin-like growth ...

Proteolysis of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) by calpain [PDF]
Calpains are non-lysosomal, Ca2+-dependent cysteine proteases, which are ubiquitously distributed across cell types and vertebrate species. The rules that govern calpain specificity have not yet been determined.
