Biochem/physiol Actions

Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) also known as multiplication stimulating activity (MSA), shows virtually identical bioactivities as IGF-I. Expression of IGF-II is highest in fetal tissues, where it is believed to play a major role in overall growth and development. After birth IGF-II expression decreases to much lower levels in a variety of tissues. IGF-II is produced also in several tumors. IGF-II binds to IGF-II receptor (IGF-IIR), to IGF-IR and weakly to the insulin receptor (IR). All IGF-II bioactivities in adult tissues are generally attributed to its interaction with IGF-IR. However, during embryogenesis the roles of both IGF-IIR and IR may be significant in promoting normal growth.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution with no additives.

Analysis Note

Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) regulate diverse processes including energy metabolism, cell proliferation and embryonic development. They activate the IGF signaling pathway via binding to cell surface receptors. Here we report an essential role of IGF2 in maintaining the pluripotency of

In mammals, many aspects of metabolic, physiological, and behavioral processes are regulated by endogenous circadian clocks. Oscillators of different tissue types share a common molecular mechanism at the cellular and molecular level which underlies the rhythmic expression of genes. Individual

Calcification is a prominent feature of late-stage atherosclerosis, but the mechanisms driving this process are unclear. Using a biobank of carotid endarterectomies, we recently showed that Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) is a key molecular signature of calcified plaques, expressed in smooth
