About: Mecasermin

An Entity of Type: protein, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Mecasermin, sold under the brand name Increlex, also known as recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 (rhIGF-1), is a recombinant form of human insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) which is used in the long-term treatment of growth failure and short stature in children with severe primary IGF-I deficiency, for instance due to growth hormone deficiency or Laron syndrome (growth hormone insensitivity). Mecasermin has a biological half-life of about 5.8 hours in children with severe primary IGF-1 deficiency.

dbo:abstract
  • Mecasermin, sold under the brand name Increlex, also known as recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 (rhIGF-1), is a recombinant form of human insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) which is used in the long-term treatment of growth failure and short stature in children with severe primary IGF-I deficiency, for instance due to growth hormone deficiency or Laron syndrome (growth hormone insensitivity). Mecasermin has a biological half-life of about 5.8 hours in children with severe primary IGF-1 deficiency. A related medication is mecasermin rinfabate (brand name Iplex), which is a combination of mecasermin (rhIGF-1), insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), and insulin-like growth factor binding protein acid labile subunit (IGFALS) as a ternary complex. The complex serves to prolong the action of mecasermin in the human body; the half-life of mecasermin when provided as this complex is 13.4 hours in individuals with severe primary IGF-1 deficiency.

  • Mecasermina (INN, nome commerciale Increlex) è un fattore di crescita insulino-simile (IGF-I) ricombinante umano, prodotto in Escherichia coli cioè in batteri che sono stati modificati mediante l’aggiunta del gene per l’IGF-1 umano. Il farmaco viene utilizzato per il trattamento a lungo termine del deficit di crescita nei bambini con deficit di IGF-I primario grave. Questo farmaco non deve essere confuso con mecasermina rinfabato (nome commerciale Iplex), che è una combinazione di ricombinante IGF-1 (rhIGF-1) umano e del fattore di crescita insulino-simile binding protein-3 (-3). L'IGFBP-3 serve per prolungare l'azione dell'IGF-1 nel corpo umano. (it)
