IGF2BP2 insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 10644)

Symbol: IGF2BP2

Full name: insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: IMP-2; IMP2; VICKZ2

Summary: This gene encodes a protein that binds the 5' UTR of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA and regulates its translation. It plays an important role in metabolism and variation in this gene is associated with susceptibility to diabetes. Alternative splicing and promoter usage results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes are found on several chromosomes. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
