NCIt synonyms : Hepatocellular Carcinoma Autoantigen p62; IMP-2; IGF2BP2; IGF II mRNA Binding Protein 2; IGF2 mRNA-Binding Protein 2; IGF-II mRNA-Binding Protein 2; VICKZ Family Member 2;
NCIt definition : Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (599 aa, 66 kDa) is encoded by
the human IGF2BP2 gene. This protein plays a role in the translation, localization
and stability of mRNA.;
NCIt note : Autoantibodies against insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 are detected
in sera from some patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. (UniProt); Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 binds to the 5'-UTR of the insulin-like
growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNAs and to beta-actin/ACTB and MYC transcripts. (UniProt);
