Growth factors are thought to function as pivotal autocrine-paracrine regulatory signals during embryonic development. Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II), a mitogenic polypeptide for a variety of cell lines, could have such a role, as indicated by the pattern of expression of its gene during rodent development. The IGF-II gene uses at least three promoters and expresses several transcripts in many tissues...
