The actions of Igf1 depend largely on its binding to extracellular proteins such as Igfbp2 and Igfbp3 [29-31]. | |||||||||||||||

Overexpression of hmutIGFBP3, a mutant form that does not bind IGF, also reduces hypocretin peptide content in brainstem but not in hypothalamus suggesting both IGF dependent and independent effects on hypocretin transmission. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
To investigate whether IGFBP3 regulates hypocretin cell physiology and sleep in vivo, we studied IGFBP3 knockout mice (mIgfbp3 KO: C57BL/6J strain) [18] and two human IGFBP3 transgenic lines ( CD-1 strain) [19]: a transgenic mouse strain overexpressing human IGFBP3 (hIGFBP3 transgenic), and a transgenic strain overexpressing a mutated form of hIGFBP3 that does not bind IGF (hmutIGFBP3 transgenic) [20]. | |||||||||||||||

Among IGFBPs, IGFBP-3 is very important since it binds more than 95% of IGF-I in blood circulation.[22] | |||||||||||||||
