Mannose-6-phosphate/Insulin-like Growth Factor II Receptor Expression and Tumor Development

Abstract excerpt

The mannose-6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor II receptor (M6P/IGF-IIR) is a multi-functional transmembrane glycoprotein whose major function is to bind and transport M6P-bearing glycoproteins from the trans-Golgi network or the cell surface to lysosomes. The cell surface M6P/IGF-IIR also bind and internalizes the insulin-like growth factor II. The receptor gene is considered a "candidate" tumor suppressor...
