Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I and Epidermal Growth Factor Regulate Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in the Human Keratinocyte Cell Line HaCaT [PDF]
The human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT has a basal phenotype and secretes an insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein, IGFBP-3, which modulates its IGF-I response.

Probing Receptor Specificity by Sampling the Conformational Space of the Insulin-like Growth Factor II C-domain [PDF]
Insulin and insulin-like growth factors I and II are closely related protein hormones. Their distinct evolution has resulted in different yet overlapping biological functions with insulin becoming a key regulator of metabolism, whereas insulin-like ...

Normal growth and development in the absence of hepatic insulin-like growth factor I.
The somatomedin hypothesis proposed that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) was a hepatically derived circulating mediator of growth hormone and is a crucial factor for postnatal growth and development. To reassess this hypothesis, we have used the Cre/

Mapping of the insulin-like growth factor II binding site of the Type I insulin-like growth factor receptor by alanine scanning mutagenesis [PDF]
The Type I insulin-like growth factor receptor is a physiological receptor for insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II). To characterize the molecular basis of the receptor's ligand binding properties, we have examined the effects of alanine mutations of ...

Insulin-like growth factor I is an independent coregulatory modulator of natural killer (NK) cell activity. [PDF]
We aimed to investigate the natural killer (NK) cell activity in hGH-deficient adults and to analyze the effect of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I in uivo and in vitro on NK cell activity.

Human conditions of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) deficiency
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is a polypeptide hormone produced mainly by the liver in response to the endocrine GH stimulus, but it is also secreted by multiple tissues for autocrine/paracrine purposes. IGF-I is partly responsible for systemic GH
