Target Background
Insulin-like-growth factor is a hormone structurally similar to insulin. It is central to the somatotropic axis acting downstream of growth hormone (GH) to promote tissue growth and development. IGF1 is synthesized in the liver, where its secretion is regulated by the pituitary secretion of GH. The actions of IGF1 are mediated through the IGF1R receptor to activate downstream signaling cascades such as PI3-kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. Defects in the encoding gene can cause insulin-like growth factor deficiency - characterized by growth retardation, sensorineural deafness and intellectual disability.
