Gene information for IGF2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3481
Official gene symbolIGF2
Full nameinsulin-like growth factor 2 (somatomedin A)
Aliases,C11orf43,FLJ22066,FLJ44734,INSIGF,pp9974,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the insulin family of polypeptide growth factors, which are involved in development and growth. It is an imprinted gene, expressed only from the paternal allele, and epigenetic changes at this locus are associated with Wilms tumour, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, rhabdomyosarcoma, and Silver-Russell syndrome. A read-through INS-IGF2 gene exists, whose 5' region overlaps the INS gene and the 3' region overlaps this gene. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
