Biological activity

Background information
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), also known as somatomedin-C, is a protein that stimulates the proliferation and survival of various cell types in vitro, including muscle, bone and cartilage. It plays an important role in childhood growth and continues to have anabolic effects in adults. IGF-1 belongs to the insulin-like growth factor family, binds to the IGF-1 receptor and activates the PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 signaling pathways. It is mainly produced in the liver and, along with IL-3, stimulates the differentiation and proliferation of myeloid cells.Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), also known as somatomedin-C, is a protein that stimulates the proliferation and survival of various cell types in vitro, including muscle, bone and cartilage.
