Abstract excerpt
IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)-3 has intrinsic antiproliferative and proapoptotic functions that are independent of IGF binding and may involve nuclear localization. We determined that exogenous IGFBP-3 rapidly translocates to myoblast nuclei and that a 22-residue peptide containing the metal binding domain (MBD) and nuclear localization sequence (NLS) can similarly direct chimeric GFP into myoblast nuclei....
