Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) is a potent mitogen for cells in culture. The H19 gene is a developmentally regulated gene with putative tumor suppressor activity, and loss of H19 expression may be involved in tumorigenesis. The H19 gene is closely linked to the human IGF-II gene (IGF2) on chromosome 11p15.5 and these genes are reciprocally imprinted in most fetal tissues. H19 is expressed only from the...
