Disease relevance of Igfbp6

 

High impact information on Igfbp6

  • Human IGFBP-6 possesses a single Asn-linked glycosylation site near the carboxyl-terminal, whereas no potential Asn-linked glycosylation sites are present in the rat sequence [2].
  • A single 1.3-kilobase IGFBP-6 mRNA was detected by Northern analysis in all rat tissues examined, including testis, intestine, adrenal, kidney, stomach, spleen, heart, lung, brain, and liver, indicating that this BP is a ubiquitous protein [2].
  • Using amino acid sequence information from a tryptic fragment of pig IGFBP-6 to prepare a probe, cDNA clones encoding rat and human IGFBP-6 have been isolated and characterized [2].
  • Finally, and most strikingly, IGFBP-6 expression, barely detectable in the d7.0 myometrium, gradually increases until it is very strongly transcribed during the placental stages [3].
  • CONCLUSIONS: In the diabetic (mRen-2)27 rat, IGFBP-6 is downregulated and IGFBP-5 is upregulated by induction of diabetes [4].
