GlossaryInsulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 2 (IGFBP-2)

regulates insulin-like growth factors, affecting cell growth and development

Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 2 (IGFBP-2) is a protein that binds to insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), which are important for cell growth and development. By binding to IGFs, IGFBP-2 regulates their availability and activity in the body, influencing processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. This protein plays a significant role in various physiological and pathological conditions, including growth disorders and cancer.
