Abstract excerpt

The insulin-like growth factor II (IGF2) is a polypeptide with structure homology to insulin which possesses mitogen activity, and imprinted with paternal allele. In order to elucidate the distribution of imprinting pattern and relationship between allele- and tissue-specific expression of IGF2 i...
