regulates insulin-like growth factors, affecting cell growth and development

Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3 (IGFBP-3) is a protein that binds to insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), which are crucial for cell growth and development. By binding to IGFs, IGFBP-3 regulates their availability and activity in the body, playing a significant role in processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.
