Background
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is also known as somatomedin C, IGF1A, IGFI, sulfation factor, and is a hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin. IGF-1 Protein binds to cell surface receptor IGF type 1 receptor, which abbreviated as "IGF1R" and modulates growth in many tissues, such as nervous tissue, lymphoid tissue, reproductive tissue, smooth muscle, endothelium, and bone. IGF-1 Protein also mediates neuroprotective mechanism. It is produced primarily by the liver as an endocrine hormone as well as in target tissues in a paracrine/autocrine fashion. IGF-1 consists of 70 amino acids in a single chain with three intramolecular disulfide bridges. IGF-1 has a molecular weight of 7649 daltons.
