Insulin-Like Growth Factor I Receptor (IGF-IR) Ligands and BMI in Squamous Intra-Epithelial Lesion (SIL) of Cervix [PDF]
Introduction: Cancer cervix is the most common cancer in women in developing countries like India. Several studies have linked insulin-like growth factors-I & II (IGF-I and IGF-II) and IGF binding proteins-3 (IGFBP-3) with pathogenesis of Squamous ...

Insulin-like growth factors: Ligands, binding proteins, and receptors
Background: The insulin-like growth factor family of ligands (IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin), receptors (IGF-IR, M6P/IGF-IIR, and insulin receptor [IR]), and IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP-1-6) play critical roles in normal human physiology and disease states.

The Soluble Type 2 Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-II) Receptor Reduces Organ Size by IGF-II-mediated and IGF-II-independent Mechanisms [PDF]
The soluble type 2 insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor or IGF-II/mannose 6-phosphate receptor (sIGF2R) is produced in vivo by proteolytic deletion of the transmembrane and intracellular domains of the cellular form of the receptor (IGF2R). There is evidence that sIGF2R is a negative regulator of growth.

Kangaroo IGF-II is structurally and functionally similar to the human [Ser29]-IGF-II variant [PDF]
Kangaroo IGF-II has been purified from western grey kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus) serum and characterised in a number of in vitro assays. In addition, the complete cDNA sequence of mature IGF-II has been obtained by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor II (IGF-II) Is More Potent Than IGF-I in Stimulating Cortisol Secretion from Cultured Bovine Adrenocortical Cells: Interaction with the IGF-I Receptor and IGF-Binding Proteins [PDF]
Although the stimulating effect of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on adrenal steroidogenesis has been well established, the role of IGF-II in the adult adrenal gland remains unknown.

Consequences of Postnatally Elevated Insulin-Like Growth Factor-II in Transgenic Mice: Endocrine Changes and Effects on Body and Organ Growth. [PDF]
Insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) is an important regulator of embryonic growth and differentiation, but its function in postnatal life is unclear. To address this point, we generated transgenic mice harboring fusion genes in which a human IGF-II

Expression of the insulin-like growth factor-II/mannose-6-phosphate receptor in multiple human tissues during fetal life and early infancy [PDF]
The insulin like growth factor-II/mannose-6-phosphate (IGF-II/M6P) receptor has been detected in many cells and tissues. In the rat, there is a dramatic developmental regulation of IGF-II/M6P receptor expression, the receptor being high in fetal and ...

IGF-II Promotes Mesoderm Formation
IGF-II is abundant in the nascent mesoderm of the gastrulating mouse embryo. Its function at this developmental stage is unknown. We investigated it by following the in vitro and in vivo differentiation of several androgenetic, biparental, parthenogenetic, and androgenetic Igf2 -/- murine ES cell lines; these cells differed in endogenous IGF-II levels ...
