High impact information on igf2

  • Sequence comparison showed that the primary structures of zebrafish IGF-I, IGF-II, and IGF-I receptors (IGF-IRs) have been highly conserved in vertebrates [1].
  • Elevated levels of expression of IGFBP-3 were observed 24 hours after injection with IGF-I and 48 hours with IGF-II or insulin [2].
