Specifications
Target Information
The insulin-like growth factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2) and their soluble, membrane- and extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated binding proteins and receptors constitute an endocrine/autocrine/paracrine-acting system that mediates growth, differentiation and/or apoptosis of vertebrate cells. IGF1 is an important regulator of body growth, development, and metabolism of pigs.
