The RNA-binding Protein IMP-3 Is a Translational Activator of Insulin-like Growth Factor II Leader-3 mRNA during Proliferation of Human K562 Leukemia Cells
8 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
IMP-3, a member of the insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) mRNA-binding protein (IMP) family, is expressed mainly during embryonic development and in some tumors. Thus, IMP-3 is considered to be an oncofetal protein. The functional significance of IMP-3 is not clear. To identify the functions of IMP-3 in target gene expression and cell proliferation, RNA interference was employed to knock down IMP-3...
