- Mechanism of action
rhIGFBP-3 is a protein that is normally found in our bloodstream that has been shown to induce cancer cell death in a variety of experimental systems. Several studies have demonstrated that cancer risk increases with decreasing levels of circulating IGFBP-3. IGFBP-3 can induce cell cycle arrest and enhance the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents.
