IGFBP2 protein, human

MSH: One of the six homologous soluble proteins that bind insulin-like growth factors (SOMATOMEDINS) and modulate their mitogenic and metabolic actions at the cellular level.,NCI: Encoded by human IGFBP2 Gene, cysteine-rich high molecular weight secreted 328-aa 35-kD Insulin-Like Growth Factor-Binding Protein 2 precursor contains an IGFBP domain and a thyroglobulin type-I domain. IGF-binding proteins prolong plasma IGF half-life and alter IGF interaction with cell surface receptors. The predominant form in plasma (150-kD) contains IGF-BP53 with apparent molecular mass of 53-kD. IGFBP2 binds IGF-II with high affinity more than IGF-I. (from LocusLink, Swiss-Prot, OMIM, and NCI),NCI: IGFBP2 contains a thyroglobulin type-I domain, belongs to the IGFBP family, and binds IGF-II more than IGF-I. IGFBPs display strong sequence homologies. IGFBPs contain three distinct domains. N-terminal domain 1 and C-terminal domain 3 contain invariant cysteine residues and are thought to be the IGF binding domains. Domain 2 genera
