IGF-BP3

The IGF-BP3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3) test measures the level of IGF-BP3 in the blood, a protein that plays a critical role in regulating the activity of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1). IGF-BP3 binds to IGF-1 and modulates its effects on growth and development.This test is particularly useful in evaluating growth disorders in children, assessing pituitary function, and monitoring patients undergoing growth hormone therapy. Understanding IGF-BP3 levels helps clinicians determine the balance of growth factors in the body and guide appropriate treatment strategies.
