Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), also known as Somatomedin C, is a naturally occurring polypeptide consisting of 70 amino acids and structurally similar to insulin. In biological systems, IGF-1 is synthesized primarily in the liver and is studied for its role in growth-related signaling pathways, cellular development, and anabolic biochemical processes. Research focuses on its involvement in protein metabolism, tissue growth mechanisms, and interactions with growth-hormone–regulated pathways.
