IGF-II R/IGF2R: Products
IGF-II R/IGF2R is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that contains a 2,264 amino acid (aa) extracellular region, a 23 aa transmembrane segment segment and a 124 aa cytoplasmic tail. IGF2R regulates many diverse biological functions that range from intracellular trafficking to the internalization of extracellular factors and modulation of cellular responses. It delivers newly synthesized M6P-tagged lysosomal enzymes from the trans-golgi network to endosomes, and facilitates the clearance of extracellular lysosomal and matrix degrading enzymes by internalization into clathrin-coated vesicles and delivery into endosomes. With respect to IGF2 biology, It would appear that IGF2R is principally a regulator of local IGF2 levels, targeting IGF2 for destruction in lysosomes.
