IGF1

A gene on chromosome 12q23.2 that encodes a protein, similar to insulin in structure and function, which belongs to a family of proteins involved in mediating growth and development.

Molecular pathology
IGF1 mutations are a cause of insulin-like growth factor I deficiency.

Considering that RSV was undetectable in the hippocampus of RSV-treated Wt mice, the report provides strong evidence that, in vivo, RSV might exert effects on the hippocampus through stimulating the release of CGRP from DRG neurons, leading to enhanced production of IGFI by hippocampal astrocytes, thereby improving AHN and cognitive performance.
