IGF-1, Species: Rat, 50UG

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) is a growth factor that is produced by the liver. IGF-1 production is stimulated by Growth Hormone. IGF-1 binds the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) and the insulin receptor to stimulate systemic body growth. IGF-1 is one of the most potent activators of the AKT signaling pathway, which stimulates cell proliferation and inhibits programmed cell death.
