| - | '''Insulin-like growth factor''' (IGF) are proteins with high sequence similarity to insulin. IGF are ligands in a complex called the IGF axis, which contains 2 IGF receptors, 6 IGF-binding proteins and IGF-binding protein degrading enzyme. IGF I is secreted in the liver after stimulation by growth hormone. IGF II is required in early development stages. | + | '''Insulin-like growth factor''' (IGF) are proteins with high sequence similarity to insulin.
