insulin-like growth factor 1 insulin-like growth factor 1 insulin-like growth factor 1 (igf-1), also called somatomedin c, is a hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin which plays an important role in childhood growth, and has anabolic effects in adults. igf1available structurespdbortholog search: pdbe rcsb list of pdb id codes1b9g, 1gzr, 1gzy, 1gzz, 1h02, 1h59, 1imx, 1pmx, 1tgr,

searchwikidataview/edit humanview/edit mouse igf-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the igf1 gene. igf-1 consists of 70 amino acids in a single chain with three intramolecular disulfide bridges. igf-1 has a molecular weight of 7,649 daltons. in dogs, an ancient mutation in igf1 is the primary cause of the toy phenotype. igf-1 is produced primarily by the liver. production is stimulated by growth hormone (gh). most of igf-1 is bound to one of 6 binding proteins (igf-bp). igfbp-1 is regulated by insulin. igf-1 is produced throughout life; the highest rates of igf-1 production occur during the pubertal growth spurt. the lowest levels occur in infancy and old age. a synthetic analog of igf-1, mecasermin, is used in children for the treatment of growth failure. cyclic glycine-proline (cgp) is metabolite of hormone insulin-like growth factor-1 (igf-1). it has a cyclic structure, lipophilic nature, and is enzymatically stable which makes its a more favourable candidate for manipulating the binding-release process between igf-1 and its binding protein thereby, normalising igf-1 function. synthesis and circulation
