IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1)
A peptide hormone that is structurally similar to insulin. IGF-1 is produced primarily in the liver in response to growth hormone signalling. It mediates many of the anabolic effects of growth hormone and activates the PI3K/Akt and MAPK/ERK signalling pathways, which are studied in the context of cell growth and differentiation.
