    regulates insulin-like growth factors' availability and activity in the body

    Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 1 (IGFBP-1) is a protein that binds to insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), which are hormones that play a crucial role in growth and development. By binding to IGFs, IGFBP-1 regulates their availability and activity in the body, influencing processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and metabolism. Elevated levels of IGFBP-1 can be associated with conditions like insulin resistance and metabolic disorders.
