Abstract

  Insulin like growth factor IGF1 is also known as somatostadin C. It is involved in somatic growth of cell like muscle, kidney or cartilage cells. IGF1 is primarily expressed in the liver. This gene has significance growth of individuals. IGF family is involved in cellular signaling and it is also responsible for cell division. Mutation in igf1 gene can cause Laron dwarfism and acromegaly. This study is performed to understand genomic variations and for sequence analysis. Freely available online tools such as pfam, gene structure display server, MEME motif, Serial Cloner and Mega 7.0 were used to perform sequence analysis. The results from this analysis showed that IGF1 is a polymorphic gene and amino acid variation can be seen among igf1 gene of different species. This study could be further use for studying the function of igf1 gene.
