GenAge entry for IGFBP3 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 73)

HGNC symbol: IGFBP3
Aliases: IBP3; BP-53
Common name: insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to the regulation or control of genes previously linked to ageing
Description: IGFBP3 is a member of the IGFBP family that regulates IGF1 and IGF2 by altering the interaction of IGFs with their cell surface receptors. Some evidence suggests that IGFBP3 influences age-related changes in lean body mass [457], but so far it has not been directly linked to human ageing.
