Human IGFBP4 mRNA

Description

Human IGFBP4 mRNA encodes the human insulin like growth factor binding protein 4 IGFBP4 protein, a member of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein IGFBP family. IGFBP4 can bind both insulin-like growth factors IGFs I and II and circulates in the plasma in both glycosylated and non-glycosylated forms. Binding of this protein prolongs the half-life of the IGFs and alters their interaction with cell surface receptors.
