Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) are members of the IGF signaling system, along with the ligands (insulin, IGF-I, and IGF-II) and a family of transmembrane receptors (the insulin, type 1 IGF and type 2 IGF receptors) (1–11). The human IGFBP superfamily consists of six high-affinity IGF binders (IGFBPs 1–6) and four low-affinity IGF binders (IGFBP-related proteins [IGFBP-rPs] 1–4) (12–15) (Table 1; see Chapter 14 for more detail).
