IGF2BP1 pAb

IGF-II mRNA-binding proteins (IMP) bind RNA and influence RNA synthesis and metabolism. IMPs, IMP-1 (coding region determinant-binding protein/insulin-like growth factor II mRNA-binding protein, CRD-BP, VICKZ1), IMP-2 (IMP2, VICKZ2, p62) and IMP-3 (KOC1, VICKZ3), contain a unique combination of RNA recognition motifs and four hnRNP K homology domains. IMP-1 is abundant in embryonal tissues and in 81% of colon cancers, 58.5% of breast cancers and 73% of sarcomas. IMP-1 recognizes c-Myc, IGF-II and tau mRNAs, and H19 RNA and plays a major role in proliferation of K-562 cells by an IGF-II-dependent mechanism. IMP-2 binds the 5' UTR of IGF-II mRNA and influences tumor cell growth, in which IMP-2 is associated with apoptosis induced by tretinoin. IMP-3 knock down by RNA interference decreases levels of IGF-II protein without affecting IGF-II, c-Myc, or b Actin mRNA and H19 RNA levels. IMP-3 is a marker for carcinomas and high-grade dysplastic lesions of pancreatic ductal epithelium.

Alternative Names

Insulin-like growth factor-II mRNA-binding proteins (IMPs) belong to a family of zipcode-binding proteins. Three members of this family; IMP1; IMP2; and IMP3; have been identified. They contain two RNA recognition motifs; four K homology domains; and were found to function in mRNA localization; turnover; and translation control. Research studies have implicated these proteins in a variety of physiological and pathological processes; such as growth and development; testicular neoplasia; and melan
