IGF-BINDING PROTEIN 6 HUMAN

Biological Activity

IGFBP6 (insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 6) can suppress growth of various IGF-2 (insulin-like growth factor 2)-dependent tumors. However, it also exhibits IGF-independent activities. IGFBP is suggested as a serum biomarker for proliferative vitreoretinopathy. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection results in downregulation of IGFBP6 via differential methylation.
