Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II).

The international journal of biochemistry & cell biology - 1 Jul 1998

O'Dell S D, Day I N

Abstract excerpt

Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) plays a key role in mammalian growth, influencing foetal cell division and differentiation and possibly metabolic regulation. The mature 67 amino acid peptide shares sequence homology with both insulin and IGF-I. The liver is the main endocrine source of IGFs, but autocrine/paracrine activity is found in most tissues. The type 1 receptor mediates most of the biological...
