Gene information for IGF1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3479
Official gene symbolIGF1
Full nameinsulin-like growth factor 1 (somatomedin C)
Aliases,IGF1A,IGFI,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is similar to insulin in function and structure and is a member of a family of proteins involved in mediating growth and development. The encoded protein is processed from a precursor, bound by a specific receptor, and secreted. Defects in this gene are a cause of insulin-like growth factor I deficiency. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
