Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) in hematological diseases
The oncofetal mRNA-binding protein IGF2BP1 belongs to a conserved family of RNA-binding proteins. It primarily promotes RNA stability, regulates translation and RNA localization, and mediates gene expression through its downstream effectors.

Polyploid Adipose Stem Cells Shift the Balance of IGF1/IGFBP2 to Promote the Growth of Breast Cancer
Background: The close proximity of adipose tissue and mammary epithelium predispose involvement of adipose cells in breast cancer development. Adipose-tissue stem cells (ASCs) contribute to tumor stroma and promote growth of cancer cells. In our previous

IGFBP-2 Signaling in the Brain: From Brain Development to Higher Order Brain Functions
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2) is a pleiotropic polypeptide that functions as autocrine and/or paracrine growth factors. IGFBP-2 is the most abundant of the IGFBPs in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and developing brain showed the ...

The Roles of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 2 mRNA-Binding Protein 2 in Cancer and Cancer Stem Cells
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) mediate the localization, stability, and translation of the target transcripts and fine-tune the physiological functions of the proteins encoded. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) 2 mRNA-binding protein (IGF2BP, IMP) family
