   IGF-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGF1 gene. [8] [9] IGF-1 consists of 70 amino acids in a single chain with three intramolecular disulfide bridges. IGF-1 has a molecular weight of 7,649 daltons. [10] In dogs, an ancient mutation in IGF1 is the primary cause of the toy phenotype. [11] IGF-1 is produced primarily by the liver.

   The IGF-1 receptor is the "physiological" receptor. IGF-1 binds to it at significantly higher affinity than it binds the insulin receptor. Like the insulin receptor, the IGF-1 receptor is a receptor tyrosine kinase—meaning the receptor signals by causing the addition of a phosphate molecule on particular tyrosines. The IGF-2 receptor only ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatopause

   Somatopause is the progressive decline in the levels of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), hormones of the hypothalamic–pituitary–somatotropic axis (HPS axis), with age. [1] Secretion of GH may only be 60% of that of a young adult by age 70 years. [2]
