Human IGF-1 is a hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin and plays an important role in childhood growth. Typically exists bound to IGF-BP 1-6, and acts as an agonist for IGF1R. A synthetic analog of IGF-1, mecasermin, is commonly used for the treatment of growth failure. Provided as 100 μg of dry powder alongside reconstitution buffer.
