Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and their receptors regulate embryonic and post-natal growth. Genetic evidence derived from targeted mouse mutants indicates that both the insulin receptor (IR) and IGF-I receptors (IGF-IRs) are required for mouse embryonic growth. However, the roles of IRs and IGF-IRs are functionally distinct, with IGF-IRs mediating both IGF-I and IGF-II actions, and IRs mediating IGF-II,...
