Background Information
Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is a crucial protein that plays a significant role in regulating growth, particularly during normal fetal development, and is also often dysregulated during tumorigenesis. IGF2 is one of the main ligands of the type 1 IGF receptor (IGF-1R), a tyrosine kinase receptor that transmits signals upon binding with IGF-II. IGF2 is predominantly secreted via the placenta during pregnancy and, after birth, primarily by hepatocytes, with its secretion being independent of growth hormone (GH) secretion, unlike IGF-I.
