Summary
This gene is a member of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) family and encodes a protein with an IGFBP domain and a thyroglobulin type-I domain. The protein binds both insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) I and II and circulates in the plasma in both glycosylated and non-glycosylated forms. Binding of this protein prolongs the half-life of the IGFs and alters their interaction with cell surface receptors. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Protein Information
 
Protein Name
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 4, IBP-4, IGF-binding protein 4
 
Function
IGF-binding proteins prolong the half-life of the IGFs and have been shown to either inhibit or stimulate the growth promoting effects of the IGFs on cell culture. They alter the interaction of IGFs with their cell surface receptors

The decrease in IGF-I-mediated stimulation of gonadotropin actions on granulosa and theca cells in preantral and antral follicles may impair the induction of aromatase activity, causing an androgenic microenvironment which is characteristic of atretic follicles and PCOS follicles.
