IGF Binding Protein-3 (IGFBP-3)

IGF Binding Protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is a carrier protein that regulates the activity of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), which play crucial roles in cell growth, differentiation, and metabolism.

IGFBP-3 binds to IGFs in the bloodstream, extending their half-life and modulating their bioavailability.

Changes in IGFBP-3 levels may be associated with various conditions, including growth disorders, metabolic syndrome, and certain cancers.
