IGF2

This gene encodes a member of the insulin family of polypeptide growth factors, which are involved in development and growth. It is an imprinted gene, expressed only from the paternal allele, and epigenetic changes at this locus are associated with Wilms tumour, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, rhabdomyosarcoma, and Silver-Russell syndrome. A read-through INS-IGF2 gene exists, whose 5' region overlaps the INS gene and the 3' region overlaps this gene. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
IGF2
Protein class

Cancer-related genes, Disease related genes, Human disease related genes, Plasma proteins, RAS pathway related proteins

Predicted location

Membrane, Secreted (different isoforms)

Single cell type specificity

Cell type enhanced (Extravillous trophoblasts, Leydig cells, Syncytiotrophoblasts, Cytotrophoblasts, Peritubular cells)

Immune cell specificity

Not detected in immune cells

Cell line specificity

Cell line enhanced (CACO-2, Hep G2, LHCN-M2, RH-30, SH-SY5Y)

Interaction

Interacts with MYORG; this interaction is required for IGF2 secretion (By similarity). Interacts with integrins ITGAV:ITGB3 and ITGA6:ITGB4; integrin-binding is required for IGF2 signaling (PubMed:28873464).

Molecular function

Growth factor, Hormone, Mitogen
