The IGF-II–Insulin Receptor Isoform-A Autocrine Signal in Cancer: Actionable Perspectives
5 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
Insulin receptor overexpression is a common event in human cancer. Its overexpression is associated with a relative increase in the expression of its isoform A (IRA), a shorter variant lacking 11 aa in the extracellular domain, conferring high affinity for the binding of IGF-II along with added intracellular signaling specificity for this ligand. Since IGF-II is secreted by the vast majority of malignant solid...
