Insulin-Like Peptides

Peptides that include INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR 1 (IGF1), and IGF2. They influence brain development through their effects on CELL PROLIFERATION; CELL SURVIVAL; and NEUROGENESIS. They also influence post-embryonic development by serving as HORMONES; NEUROTRANSMITTERS, and GROWTH FACTORS.
