IGFBP5
Sign in to saveAlso known as IBP5, insulin like growth factor binding protein 5
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IBF-5) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGFBP5 gene. An IGFBP5 gene was recently identified as being important for adaptation to varying water salinity in fish.
