Abstract excerpt
With the aim to produce insulin-like growth factors (IGF) with enhanced specificity for the type 1 or type 2 IGF receptors, three mutants of IGF II have been prepared and expressed in NIH-3T3 cells. IGF II mutated at Tyr27 to Leu and Glu showed a 25- and 54-fold decrease in affinity for the type 1 IGF receptor and a 3.4- and 9.2-fold decrease in affinity for the type 2 IGF receptor. IGF II mutated at Phe48 to Glu...
