Secondary Information

Protein Function inhibition of angiogenesis and promotion of cancer cell migration
Biochemical Properties share a three-domain structure.The N-domain contains a highly conserved high-affinity IGF binding subdomain that has two disulphide linkages stabilising a globular structure containing a three-stranded anti-parallel β-sheet.The N-terminal subdomains of IGFBPs 1–5 contain a conserved GCGCC motif and a ladder-like structure stabilised by four disulphide bonds.IGFBP-6 differs from other IGFBPs as it lacks this cysteine-rich motif and only has three disulphide bonds. Further, a peptide based on this subdomain is predominantly extended with minimal secondary structure.The C-domain contains three homologous disulphide linkages, a conserved CWCV sequence and a thyroglobulin type 1 fold comprising an α -helix followed by a loop, a three-stranded antiparallel β-sheet incorporating a second loop, and finally a disulphide-bonded flexible third loop.  The C-domain binds IGFs through a largely hydrophobic surface involving the α-helix, the first β-strand, and the first and second loops.
Significance in milk The concentration of IGFBPs is high in bovine prepartum milk-like secretions (BPMS), colostrum and late lactation milk, and low in milk of mid lactation.
