The somatomedins, or insulin-like growth factors , comprise a family of peptides that play important roles in mammalian growth and development. IGF1 mediates many of the growth-promoting effects of growth hormone . Early studies showed that growth hormone did not directly stimulate the incorporation of sulfate into cartilage, but rather acted through a serum factor, termed ‘sulfation factor,’ which later became known as ‘somatomedin’ . Three main somatomedins have been characterized: somatomedin C , somatomedin A , and somatomedin B .
