1 7683533 Enzymatic deglycosylation does not alter the high affinity of IGFBP-6 for IGF-II (Ka 4.4 +/- 2.2 x 10(11) M-1) or its preference for IGF-II over IGF-I.
2 7525263 Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-6 (IGFBP-6) is an O-linked glycoprotein that binds insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) with marked preferential affinity over IGF-I.
3 15914054 IGFBP-6 inhibits growth of a number of IGF-II-dependent cancers, including rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma and colon cancer.
4 15914054 Although the major action of IGFBP-6 appears to be inhibition of IGF-II actions, a number of studies suggest that it may also have IGF-independent actions.
5 15914054 Both the N-terminal and C-terminal domains of IGFBP-6 contribute to high affinity IGF binding, and the C-terminal domain appears to confer its IGF-II specificity.
6 18445667 In chronic energy deficit, total and free IGF-I, IGFBP-6, and GHBP levels were lower, compared with euleptinemic controls; r-metHuLeptin administration had no major effect on GH pulsatility after 2 wk but increased total IGF-I levels and tended to increase free IGF-I and IGFBP-3 after 1 month.
