    regulate insulin-like growth factors' activity and availability

    Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Proteins (IGFBPs) are a group of proteins that bind to insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), which are hormones involved in growth and development. By binding to IGFs, IGFBPs regulate their activity, availability, and interaction with IGF receptors, thereby playing a crucial role in cell growth, differentiation, and metabolism.
