ATM-dependent expression of the insulin-like growth factor-I receptor in a pathway regulating radiation response
6 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
The ATM gene is mutated in the syndrome of ataxia telangiectasia (AT), associated with neurologic dysfunction, growth abnormalities, and extreme radiosensitivity. Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) is a cell surface receptor with tyrosine kinase activity that can mediate mitogenesis, cell transformation, and inhibition of apoptosis. We report here that AT cells express low levels of IGF-IR and show...
