Abstract
In the circulation, most of the insulin‐like growth factors (IGFs) are bound to a ternary 150 kDa complex with IGF‐binding protein (IGFBP)‐3 and the acid labile subunit. In the current study, we identify transferrin (Tf) by mass spectrometry, and immunoprecipitation as a component of a major IGF‐binding fraction separated from human plasma. IGF ligand blotting, cross‐linkage experiments and surface plasmon resonance spectrometry have been used to demonstrate the capability of Tf to bind IGFs specifically. In combination with Tf, IGFBP‐3 showed a 5‐fold higher affinity for IGF‐II than IGFBP‐3 alone. The data suggest that Tf may play an important role in regulating IGF/IGFBP‐3 functions.
