Funded Activity Summary

Proteins are complex structures usually consisting of a number of distinct regions. Each of these regions may serve different roles. Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are important proteins involved in regulating the growth and other properties of cells. The actions of IGFs are in turn regulated by a family of binding proteins (IGFBPs). The aim of this project is to determine the range of actions of one of these IGFBPs and which parts of this IGFBP are involved in these actions. This may lead to new treatments for diseases in which cell growth is disturbed e.g. cancer and diabetes.
