The structure of IGF-I is similar to that of insulin, having 43 % sequence homology with human proinsulin. Both peptides can induce metabolic and mitogenic effects through their own specific receptors, which also share many structural and functional similarities. Primarily involved in the regulation
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is essential for normal epidermal homeostasis; however, the role of IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), regulators of IGF action, remains unclear. Here we examine the regulation of human keratinocyte-produced IGFBPs by epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growt
