Mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor II receptor mediates the growth-inhibitory effects of retinoids.
Both retinoids and the mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor-II receptor (M6P/IGF2R) have been shown to play an important role in controlling cell growth during embryonic development and oncogenesis. Our recent work (Kang et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 94: 13671-13676, 1997; Kang et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 95: 13687-13691, 1998) revealed a direct biochemical interaction b...
متن کاملIsolation of the human insulin-like growth factor genes: insulin-like growth factor II and insulin genes are contiguous.
Overlapping recombinant clones that encompass the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I and II genes have been isolated from a human genomic DNA library. Each gene is present once per haploid genome; the IGF-I gene spans greater than 35 kilobase pairs (kbp) and the IGF-II gene is at least 15 kbp. The exon-intron organization of these genes is similar, each having four exons, which is one more than...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor II signaling through the insulin-like growth factor II/mannose-6-phosphate receptor promotes exocytosis in insulin-secreting cells.
The insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II)/mannose-6-phosphate (M-6-P) receptor is known to participate in endocytosis as well as sorting of lysosomal enzymes and is involved in membrane trafficking through rapid cycling between cytosolic membrane compartments and the plasma membrane. Here we demonstrate that IGF-II, acting through the IGF-II/M-6-P receptor, promotes exocytosis of insulin in th...
متن کاملRadioimmunoassay for insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II).
Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) levels in human plasma were measured in physiological and pathological conditions by radioimmunoassay (RIA) with biosynthetic IGF-II. This RIA was specific for IGF-II and cross-reactivity with IGF-I was 1%. The sensitivity was 15 pg/tube with 50% displacement at 50 pg/tube. The intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation for IGF-II were 6.3 and 9.3%, ...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Mechanism of Insulin and Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF) Receptor Activation by IGF-II
BACKGROUND Insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) promotes cell proliferation and survival and plays an important role in normal fetal development and placental function. IGF-II binds both the insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) and insulin receptor isoform A (IR-A) with high affinity. Interestingly both IGF-II and the IR-A are often upregulated in cancer and IGF-II acts via both recep...
