Descriptor English: Insulin-Like Growth Factor I
Descriptor Spanish: Factor I del Crecimiento Similar a la Insulina
Descriptor factor I de crecimiento insulinoide
Entry term(s) IGF-I
somatomedina C
Scope note: Péptido básico bien caracterizado. Se cree que es segregado por el hígado y que circula en la sangre. Tiene actividades de regulación del crecimiento, similares a la insulina y mitogénica. Este factor de crecimiento tiene una dependencia fundamental, pero no absoluta, de la HORMONA DEL CRECIMIENTO. Se cree que es principalmente activo en adultos, a diferencia del FACTOR II DE CRECIMIENTO INSULINOIDE, que es un factor fundamental del crecimiento fetal.

Scope note: A well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. This growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on GROWTH HORMONE. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR II, which is a major fetal growth factor.
