## Abstract Insulin‐like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) play important roles in regulating the functions of insulin‐like growth factors (IGFs). Because IGFBPs have very high affinity for IGF‐I and IGF‐II, they can regulate the amount of each growth factor that is able to bind to cell surfa
## Abstract Pregnancy‐Associated Plasma Protein‐A (PAPP‐A) proteolyses insulin‐like growth factor binding protein‐4 (IGFBP‐4), thereby regulating local IGF availability. Reduced PAPP‐A mRNA expression has been reported in ovarian cancer specimens compared to normal ovarian surface epithelial cells
