	'''Insulin-like Growth Factor''' ('''IGF-1''') is a member of the insulin protein family. '''Insulin''' is an essential endocrine protein. Indeed, it is the only hypoglycemic hormone of the human body. This protein is secreted in the beta cells of the Langerhans’ islet in the pancreas and takes part in the glycogenesis. This molecule helps the transportation of glucose into the cells, thus reducing the blood sugar rate, contrary to glucagon.
