General description

Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) is a member of the IGF-II mRNA binding protein family that posttranscriptionally regulates IGF2 during developmental stages. IGF2 mRNA-binding protein family members (IGF2BP1, 2 and 3) bind UTR region of IGF2 transcripts and are implicated in the transport of RNA targets to enable protein synthesis at specific locations in the cytoplasm. Studies have indicated variations in the IGF2BP2 gene may affect fetal glucose metabolism and plays a role in type 2 diabetes. In addition to playing a role in glucose metabolism and dieabetes, the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling axis plays an important role in cancer biology. Research has shown IGF2 to be emerging as an important gene for ovarian cancer.
