Anti-IGFBP7 Monoclonal Recombinant Antibody

This gene encodes a member of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein (IGFBP) family. IGFBPs bind IGFs with high affinity, and regulate IGF availability in body fluids and tissues and modulate IGF binding to its receptors. This protein binds IGF-I and IGF-II with relatively low affinity, and belongs to a subfamily of low-affinity IGFBPs. It also stimulates prostacyclin production and cell adhesion. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene, and one variant has been associated with retinal arterial macroaneurysm (PMID:21835307). Protein function: Binds IGF1 and IGF2 with a relatively low affinity. Stimulates prostacyclin (PGI2) production. Stimulates cell adhesion. Acts as a ligand for CD93 to play a role in angiogenesis (PubMed:38218180). [The UniProt Consortium]
