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.

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].
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].
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].
