Selective cytoplasmic expression in decidual cells.
ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Antibody staining mainly consistent with RNA expression data. Secreted protein, tissue location of RNA and protein might differ and correlation is complex.
Subset of cells in pancreatic carcinoid and in rare case of pancreatic cancer displayed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
A singe case of carcinoid showed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
IGFBP1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
AFBP, hIGFBP-1, IBP1, IGF-BP25, PP12
Description
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene 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. Binding of this protein prolongs the half-life of the IGFs and alters their interaction with cell surface receptors. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
