Biotinylated Anti-IGFBP7 antibody (DMC422) ; IgG1 Chimeric mAb

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) .
