insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3; IBP-3; IGF-binding protein 3; IGFBP-3 (IGFBP3, IBP3)

Function: - the major circulating IGF binding protein postnatally - associates with an 85 kD glycoprotein component (ALS) as well as IGF-1 & IGF-2 to form a 140-150 kD complex - binds IGF2 more than IGF1 - IGF-binding proteins prolong the half-life of the IGFs - they either inhibit or stimulate the growth promoting effects of the IGFs on cell culture - they alter the interaction of IGFs with their cell surface receptors - phosphorylation sites are present in the extracellular medium - interacts with XLKD1 (putative) - interacts with HN Structure: - thyroglobulin type-1 domain mediates interaction with HN - contains 1 IGFBP N-terminal domain - contains 1 thyroglobulin type-1 domain Compartment: secreted Expression: - expressed by most tissues. present in plasma - IGFBP3 levels are higher during extrauterine life & peak during puberty - induced by in the presence of IGF1, insulin & other growth-stimulating factors such as growth hormone, EGF & phorbol esters
