Background

IGFBP4, also named as IBP4, is a 258 amino acid protein, which contains one IGFBP N-terminal domain and one thyroglobulin type-1 domain. IGFBP4 is the smallest member of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein family (IGFBP). It is a hepatic protein that plays a role in modulating the activity and bioavailability of IGF-I. The expression of IGFBP4 was found to increase under conditions of hypoxia. IGFBP4 is highly expressed in adipocytes and osteoblasts and is inhibitory of IGFs in vitro.
