    Glossary Insulin-like Growth Factor

    protein promoting cell growth and development, similar to insulin

    Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) refers to a group of proteins with a structure similar to insulin that play a crucial role in growth and development, particularly during childhood. IGF is involved in cell growth, differentiation, and survival, and it is primarily produced in the liver in response to growth hormone stimulation. It has significant implications in various biological processes, including muscle growth, bone development, and even hair follicle health.
