## Abstract Cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) secrete insulin‐like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs), a family of polypeptides which modulate the actions of the insulin‐like growth factors. RPE cells secrete two IGFBPs with Mr estimates of 34,000 and 46,000, respectively.

## Abstract Cultured monkey retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells rapidly secrete large amounts of insulin‐like growth factor binding proteins (IGF‐BPs). IGF‐II tracer binding activity in conditioned media is two to three times greater than that of IGF‐I. Under reducing SDS‐PAGE conditions, ^125^I
## Abstract The role of insulin‐like growth factors (IGF) in regulating cell differentiation and proliferation is in part modulated by the IGF binding protein (IGFBP) family of genes. Previous studies of the human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) have detected expression of IGFBP‐2, ‐3, and ‐6. How
## Abstract Insulin‐like growth factor (IGF)‐binding protein‐5 (IGFBP5), an important member of the IGF axis involved in regulating cell growth and differentiation, acts by modulating IGF signaling and also by IGF‐independent mechanisms. We identified IGFBP5 by microarray analysis as a gene differe
