Abstract excerpt
The soluble type 2 insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor or IGF-II/mannose 6-phosphate receptor (sIGF2R) is produced in vivo by proteolytic deletion of the transmembrane and intracellular domains of the cellular form of the receptor (IGF2R). There is evidence that sIGF2R is a negative regulator of growth. We have shown that transgenic mice expressing an Igf2r cDNA with a deleted transmembrane domain sequence...
