IGF-1 Signaling

Meaning

IGF-1 Signaling represents a crucial biological communication pathway centered around Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) and its specific cell surface receptor. This biological communication pathway mediates fundamental cellular processes, including growth, differentiation, and metabolism. This system forms a critical component of the endocrine system’s influence on tissue development, maintenance, and repair throughout the human lifespan.
