    GlossaryIGF-1 Receptor (IGF-1R)

    protein on cell surfaces that binds to growth hormone IGF-1

    The IGF-1 Receptor (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor, IGF1R) is a protein found on the surface of human cells that binds to the hormone IGF-1. This interaction plays a crucial role in cell growth, development, and survival. In the context of hair biology, IGF-1 and its receptor are important for hair follicle development and the regulation of hair growth cycles.
