Selective Alterations in Organ Sizes in Mice with a Targeted Disruption of the Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-2 Gene
1 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP-2) is one member of the family of IGF binding proteins believed to have both endocrine functions elicited by modulating serum IGF half-life and transport as well as autocrine/paracrine functions that result from blocking or enhancing the availability of IGFs to bind cell surface receptors. To clarify the in vivo role of IGFBP-2, we have used gene targeting to...
