LP15670-0 Insulin-like growth factor-II
Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) is one of three protein hormones that share structural similarity to insulin.
It is sometimes produced in non-islet cell tumours, causing hypoglycemia (Doege-Potter syndrome). Loss of imprinting of IGF2 is a common feature in tumours seen in Beckwith-Wiedeman syndrome.

LP15670-0 Insulin-like growth factor-II
Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) is one of three protein hormones that share structural similarity to insulin. The major role of IGF-2 is as a growth promoting hormone during gestation. IGF-2 exerts its effects by binding to the IGF-1 receptor. IGF2 may also bind to the IGF-2 receptor (also called the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor), which acts to prevent IGF2 responses. IGF-2 has also been shown to interact with IGFBP3 and transferrin.
IGF-2 is sometimes produced in excess in islet cell tumors, causing hypoglycemia. Doege-Potter syndrome is a paraneoplastic syndrome in which hypoglycemia is associated with the presence of one or more non-islet fibrous tumors in the pleural cavity. Loss of imprinting of IGF2 is a common feature in tumors seen in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. As IGF2 promotes development of fetal pancreatic beta cells, it is believed to be related to some forms of diabetes mellitus.
