Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGFBP7 gene.[5][6][7] The major function of the protein is the regulation of availability of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) in tissue as well as in modulating IGF binding to its receptors. IGFBP7 binds to IGF with low affinity compared to IGFBPs 1-6.[8][9] It also stimulates cell adhesion. The protein is implicated in some cancers.[10]
