Also known as ALS
Summary
IGFALS (insulin like growth factor binding protein acid labile subunit, HGNC:5468) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16p13.3, encoding Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein complex acid labile subunit (P35858). Involved in protein-protein interactions that result in protein complexes, receptor-ligand binding or cell adhesion.
The protein encoded by this gene is a serum protein that binds insulin-like growth factors, increasing their half-life and their vascular localization. Production of the encoded protein, which contains twenty leucine-rich repeats, is stimulated by growth hormone. Defects in this gene are a cause of acid-labile subunit deficiency, which maifests itself in a delayed and slow puberty. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.
