Igfbp1 - insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1

Enables insulin-like growth factor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of insulin-like growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; early embryo; liver; 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, Apr 2022]
