| Biochem/physiol Actions: | During development, insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 is expressed in a number of tissues with the highest expression level found in the central nervous system. IGFBP-2 exhibits a 2-10 fold higher affinity for IGF II than for IGF I. Mouse and human IGFBP-2 share approximately 82% homology. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Exhibits a 2-10 fold higher affinity for IGF II than for IGF I. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | IGFBP-2 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2) regulates the function of IGF ligands. IGFBP2 is associated with skeletal muscle cell proliferation and differentiation. It also plays an important role in the differentiation of corneal fibroblast. |
| General description: | The gene IGFBP-2 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2) is mapped to human chromosome 2q35. |
