1 1704481 This protein, now proposed to be named IGFBP-4, contains two extra cysteines compared with the previously characterized IGFBP-1, -2, and -3, but the alignment of the remaining 18 cysteines is conserved across the four IGFBPs.
2 7683646 Substitution of residues 48-50 with the analogous residues from human insulin (Thr-Ser-Ile) reduced binding to IGFBP-1, -5, and -6 more than 50-fold and to IGFBP-4 by 15-50-fold; binding to IGFBP-2 and -3 was reduced 6-12-fold.
3 9061602 IGF-I, and IGFBP-4 and -5 mRNAs showed site-specific tubular changes whilst remaining unchanged in other parts of the kidney normally expressing the genes: IGF-I and IGFBP-4 mRNAs were reduced in TALs and proximal tubules respectively; IGFBP-5 mRNA was reduced in most distal tubular cells but strongly expressed in a few of these cells.
4 9421396 The results suggest that high glucose acts on pSMC to induce a change in IGFBP-4 proteolytic activity, which results in increased IGF-I availability to its receptors thereby enhancing the SMC proliferative response.
5 9795371 Furthermore, biochemical markers indicating bone loss (ICTP) and increased bone turnover (PTH, OSC) correlated positively with IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-4 but negatively with IGF-I, IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-5, while the opposite was observed with bone formation markers (PICP, B-ALP) and vitamin D3 metabolites.
6 11739083 Substitution of the P3 region for the P4 region in IGFBP-4 (IGFBP-4(3)) increased the ability of the protease to digest IGFBP-4(3); substitution of the P4 region for the P3 region in IGFBP-3 (IGFBP-3(4)) decreased the digestion of IGFBP-3(4).
7 16180585 Protein level of IGFBP-3 in muscle of diabetic C-line mice was augmented by approx. 28% when compared to the control, whereas the expression of IGFBP-4 and -5 was not modified by STZ-diabetes.
