Fish Insulin, IGF-I and IGF-II Receptors: A Phylogenetic Approach1
نویسندگان
چکیده
SYNOPSIS. In fish, the structural and functional characteristics of insulin and IGFI receptors have been well studied. Current evidence indicates that all gnatostome animals, from fish to mammals, contain separate insulin and IGF-I molecules and specific receptors for insulin and IGF-I. However, qualitative differences in the functional aspects of insulin and IGF-I receptors among vertebrate species can account for variations in the biological activity of insulin and IGF-I. In this paper we will focus on the functional evolution of the insulin and IGF-I receptors in vertebrates and on the appearance of the unrelated IGF-II receptors.

Investigation on the Levels of IGF-I Receptor and IGF-I Binding Protein I in the Brain of Insulin Resistant Rats
Abstract Introduction: There is limited knowledge available on the metabolism of glucose in the brain, an insulin insensitive organ. Insulin receptors hybridize with insulin like growth factor receptor (IGF-I) to transduce the signals in different areas of the brain. In this article we aimed at investigating whether the expression of IGF-I receptor and IGF-I binding proteins (IGFBP1) is change...
متن کاملIdentification of a type II insulin-like growth factor receptor in fish embryos.
To determine whether fish have an insulin-like growth factor II/mannose 6-phosphate (IGF-II/M6-P) receptor similar to that of mammals, we have performed binding, cross-linking, and immunoprecipitation experiments with wheat-germ-agglutinin- and mannose 6-phosphate (M6-P)-affinity-purified receptor preparations from fish embryos. In both receptor preparations, IGF-II binding was specific, becaus...

Background: Diabetes is a common endocrine disease in human kind. In most type II diabetic patients, obesity and overweight status account as the serious health problems worldwide and variety of endocrine factors well known that have regulatory role in weight balance and body composition including Leptin and IGF-I factor. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between Leptin and I...

The insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) plays an essential role in the establishment and maintenance of transformed phenotype. Interference with the IGF-IR pathway by antisense causes reversal of the transformed phenotype in many rodent and human tumor cell lines. We stably transfected the PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line with an IGF-IR antisense RNA expression plasmid. The ...
متن کاملInsulin and IGF-I receptors in trout adipose tissue are physiologically regulated by circulating hormone levels.
In fish, insulin is believed to act on adipose tissue to promote lipid accumulation, but a direct role for insulin in fish adipose tissue lipogenesis has yet to be demonstrated. To investigate the role of insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in fish adipose tissue function, we have investigated the presence and the regulation of insulin and IGF-I receptors in adipose tissue of brown...
