Igfbp1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable insulin-like growth factor I binding activity and insulin-like growth factor II binding activity. Involved in insulin receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell growth; and tissue regeneration. Located in extracellular space. 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 rat 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.
