Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R), a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor, belongs to the insulin receptor family. It comprises juxtamembrane (JM) and transmembrane domains that harbor substrate binding sites. Structurally, IGF1R exists as a tetramer α2/β2 with the extracellular dimeric α subunits. The IGF1R gene is mapped to human chromosome 15q26.3.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) is prime for IGF-1 for its mitogenic and metabolic functionality. It binds to IGF1 and IGF2 and activates phosphatidylinositol 3?kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. IGF1R plays a key role in growth, differentiation, cell metabolic events, and apoptosis. It also favors proliferation in the myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and may serve as a potential target to treat MDS. Mutations in the IGF1R gene are implicated in the pre- and postnatal growth retardation and microcephaly. High levels of IGF1R overexpression are observed in multiple myeloma, lung, breast, bladder and pancreatic tumors.

Despite the biological significance of insulin signaling, the molecular mechanisms of activation of the insulin receptor (IR) and other proteins from its family remain elusive. Current hypothesis on signal transduction suggests ligand-triggered structural changes in the extracellular domain followed by

Type 1 insulin‑like growth factor receptor (IGF‑IR) signaling is considered to serve a key role in the development of cancer. However, the effects of IGF‑IR on the malignant characteristics of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) clonal cells remains to be determined. In
IGF1R gene mutations have been associated with varying degrees of intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation, and microcephaly. To identify and characterize IGF1R gene variations in a cohort of 28 Argentinean children suspected of having IGF-1 insensitivity, who were selected on
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system impacts cell proliferation and is highly activated in ovarian cancer. While an attractive therapeutic target, the IGF system is complex with two receptors (IGF1R, IGF2R), two ligands (IGF1, IGF2), and at least six high
