SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

extracellular

basic FUNCTION	insuline-like growth factor binding protein 7 (related protein 1)
	prostacyclin stimulating factor tumor derived adhesion factor
	inducing senescence and apoptosis through autocrine/paracrine pathways
	stimulating BNIP3L transcription, at least in part, by increasing intracellular levels of SMARCB1, leading to formation of a SMARCB1-containing SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex, recruited to the BNIP3L promoter and facilitates BNIP3L transcriptional activation
	factor required for an activated BRAF oncogene to induce senescence or apoptosis in primary human cells (Wajapeyee 2009)
	functions mostly independent of the IGF signaling pathway and acts as a tumor suppressor in multiple cancers (Huang 2010)
	can modulate the stimulatory effect of VEGF on angiogenesis by interfering with VEGF expression as well as VEGF signaling and not by inducing apoptosis (Tamura 2009)
	dispensable for BRAF(V600E)-induced senescence in human melanocytes (Scurr 2010)
	involved in several cellular processes, including proliferation, senescence and apoptosis (Vizioli 2010)

CELLULAR PROCESS	cell life, proliferation/growth

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein

part of a pathway in which IGFBP7 increases expression of SMARCB1, which in turn leads to increased expression of BNIP3L culminating in apoptosis

Susceptibility

to autism spectrum disorder

Variant & Polymorphism other	functional variant -418G>C in the IGFBP7 promoter is associated with reduced risk of squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck, likely by enhancing the IGFBP7 promoter and DNA-protein binding activities (Huang 2010)

Candidate gene
Marker	MYH7, IGFBP7, ANXA2, and DES are all excellent candidate plasma biomarkers of heart failure
Therapy target	anticancer agent for treatment of metastatic melanoma and other cancers (Wajapeyee 2009)
