High impact information on IGF1R

  • IGF-1 stimulates the IGF-1 receptor (IGF1R) and downstream signaling pathways, including extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and phosphoinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) [1].
  • There was no significant difference, however, in the adrenal expression of the cyclin-kinase inhibitory proteins (p16ink or p21Cip) or in the IGF system (IGF-II, IGFBP-2 or IGF1R) mRNA between metyrapone- and vehicle-infused [2].
