Welcome! If you are familiar with the subject of this article, you can contribute to this open access knowledge base by deleting incorrect information, restructuring or completely rewriting any text.

Ideally this entry shall become one comprehensive and continuous article. Bulleted lists, for instance, were only used because it is impossible to automatically integrate independent facts into a continuous text.

Much of the current information on this page has been automatically compiled from Pubmed.

This precompiled information serves as a substrate and matrix to embed your contributions, but it is by no means the final word - Homo sapiens can do much better!

Disease relevance of IGF2BP2

Effect of all-trans-retinoic acid on mRNA binding protein p62 in human gastric cancer cells [1].
The glioma lines also secreted various amounts of two smaller inhibitors of metalloproteinases (IMPs), also seen in rabbit brain capillary endothelial cell CM (IMP-1 at Mr 22,000 and IMP-2 at Mr 19,000), and an inhibitor not previously identified (IMP-3 at Mr 16,500) [2].

High impact information on IGF2BP2

The IMP-12 enzyme is quite divergent from other IMP variants: its closest relatives are IMP-8 and IMP-2 (89 and 88% sequence identity, respectively), and IMP-1 is 85% identical to IMP-12 [3].
The four sequences included an identical 738-bp open reading frame, predicted to encode a polypeptide of 246 amino acids, with 95.6% homology to IMP-1 and 89.3% homology to IMP-2 [4].
p62 is a cancer-associated antigen binding to mRNA encoding insulin-like growth factor II that was isolated by immunoscreening a cDNA expression library with autoantibodies from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) [1].
These results suggest that there is a significant association between expression and distribution of p62 and the growth arrest of tumor cells, in which p62 is associated with cell apoptosis induced by ATRA [1].
Interestingly, we found that p62 was cytoplasmic in location, but it significantly decreased in cytoplasm and appeared in nucleus of cells when the cells were treated with 50 microM all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) for 5 days [1].

Associations of IGF2BP2 with chemical compounds

The effect of different cyclodextrins (CDs), namely, gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD), hydroxypropyl-beta-CD (HP-beta-CD), and alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD), on effective mobility and enantiomeric resolution (R) of venlafaxine (Wy45030) and its impurities (imp1 and imp2) was studied at different pHs, and the best results were obtained at pH 9 [5].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of IGF2BP2

Of these 431 strains, 357 were found by PCR to carry genes for IMP-1 type MBL (bla(IMP-1)), while only 7 and 67 strains carried the IMP-2 gene (bla(IMP-2)) and the VIM-2 gene (bla(VIM-2)), respectively [6].
Log-rank testing showed that IMP-1 overexpression (p=0.0398) and an advanced clinical stage (p=0.0050) were significantly correlated with poor patient survival, whereas neither IMP-2 nor IMP-3 overexpression were associated with poor prognoses [7].
