IGFBP5
protein-codinginsulin like growth factor binding protein 5, the group of Insulin like growth factor binding proteins
Gene summary
Enables insulin-like growth factor I binding activity and receptor ligand activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cAMP; regulation of smooth muscle cell migration; and regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation. Part of insulin-like growth factor ternary complex. Biomarker of pulmonary fibrosis. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_000599.4. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

- Function
- FUNCTION: IGF-binding proteins prolong the half-life of the IGFs and have been shown to either inhibit or stimulate the growth promoting effects of the IGFs on cell culture. They alter the interaction of IGFs with their cell surface receptors.;
