Treatment with anti-estrogens can modulate the secretion of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins.

This gene encodes a secreted metalloproteinase which cleaves insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs).

There are exceptionally low levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) and its principal carrier protein, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3.

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein, acid labile subunit, also known as IGFALS, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the IGFALS gene.
