Insulin-Like Growth Factor 2 MRNA Binding Protein 2 (IGF2BP2) (AA 1-220) protein (His tag)
Description
Insulin-Like Growth Factor 2 mRNA-Binding Protein 2 (IGFBP2) belongs to the RRM IMP/VICKZ family. IGFBP2 is a cytoplasmic protein and contains four KH domains and two RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains. IGF2BP2 binds to the 5'-UTR of the Insulin-Like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA. This binding is isoform-specific. IGF2BP2 may regulate translation of target mRNAs. Genetic variation at the IGF2BP2 gene has been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) by genome-wide association studies and by replication analyses.Alternative Names: Insulin-Like Growth Factor 2 mRNA-Binding Protein 2, IGF2 mRNA-Binding Protein 2, IMP-2, Hepatocellular Carcinoma Autoantigen p62, IGF-II mRNA-Binding Protein 2, VICKZ Family Member 2, IGF2BP2, IMP2, VICKZ2
