Insulin-like growth 1 factor molecule F006 / 9351
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), molecular model. IGFs are polypeptides that are similar in their molecular structure to insulin. IGF-1 is mainly secreted by the liver as a result of stimulation by growth hormone. In addition to acting in a similar way to insulin, IGF-1 can also regulate cell growth and development, especially in nerve cells, as well as cellular DNA synthesis. It plays an important role in growth and development throughout childhood and into adulthood

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), a polypeptide that closely resembles insulin. The white background beautifully highlights the complexity and elegance of this essential molecule, which plays a crucial role in growth and development throughout childhood and into adulthood. Secreted primarily by the liver under the influence of growth hormone, IGF-1 not only mimics insulin's actions but also regulates cell growth, particularly in nerve cells, as well as cellular DNA synthesis. Its multifaceted functions make it an indispensable player in various biological processes. The detailed illustration provides a glimpse into the tertiary structure of IGF-1, featuring alpha helices and beta sheets intricately arranged to form its unique shape. This molecular model serves as a valuable tool for researchers delving into endocrinology, biochemistry, proteomics, and other fields related to healthcare. LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has expertly captured this artwork that combines scientific precision with aesthetic appeal. As we delve deeper into understanding the complexities of our biology at a molecular level, images like these serve as reminders of how far we have come in unraveling life's mysteries.
