Igfbp1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables insulin-like growth factor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within response to insulin. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including early embryo; jaw; liver; mandible primordium; and secondary oocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in diabetic angiopathy. Orthologous to human IGFBP1 (insulin like growth factor binding protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Igfbp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
