Background
IGFBP-1 is a secreted protein encoded by the IGFBP1 gene located on chromosome 7 in humans. It is a member of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein family, which consists of six high-affinity binding proteins (IGFBP-1 to -6).
Human IGFBP-1 has evolved from being viewed as a passive IGF carrier to being recognized as a dynamic, multifunctional protein with significant IGF-independent biological activities. Its primary research utility lies in its role as a sensitive biomarker for hepatic insulin sensitivity and pregnancy-related conditions. Industrially, it is harnessed for diagnostic immunoassays and explored as a novel therapeutic target. Future research is likely to further dissect its tissue-specific roles and translational potential in metabolic, bone, and neoplastic diseases.
