Entrez gene ID | | 3479 |
Official gene symbol | | IGF1 |
Full name | | insulin-like growth factor 1 (somatomedin C) |
Aliases | | ,IGF1A,IGFI, |
Gene summary | | The 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. |
