High impact information on IGFL1

  • In H. sapiens, the family is composed of four genes and two pseudogenes that are referred as IGFL1 to IGFL4 and IGFL1P1 and IGFL1P2, respectively [1].
  • Human IGFL genes are clustered together on chromosome 19 within a 35-kb interval [1].
  • IGFL: A secreted family with conserved cysteine residues and similarities to the IGF superfamily [1].
  • IGFL mRNAs display specific expression patterns; they are expressed in fetal tissues, breast, and prostate, and in many cancers as well, and this pattern is consistent with that of the IGF family members [1].
