Anti-Mannose 6 Phosphate Receptor/Igf2r Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

Insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor, also called IGF2R or I-MPR is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGF2R gene. This gene is mapped to 6q25.3. This gene encodes a receptor for both insulin-like growth factor 2 and mannose 6-phosphate, although the binding sites for either are located on different segments of the receptor. This receptor functions in the intracellular trafficking of lysosomal enzymes, the activation of transforming growth factor beta, and the degradation of insulin-like growth factor 2. While the related mouse gene shows exclusive expression from the maternal allele, imprinting of the human gene appears to be polymorphic, with only a minority of individuals showing expression from the maternal allele.

Cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor; CI Man-6-P receptor; CI-MPR; M6PR; 300 kDa mannose 6-phosphate receptor; MPR 300; Insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor; Insulin-like growth factor II receptor; IGF-II receptor; M6P/IGF2 receptor; M6P/IGF2R; CD222; Igf2r

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of mouse Igf2r, which shares 70.6% and 94.1% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with human and rat Igf2r, respectively.

Acts as a positive regulator of T-cell coactivation, by binding DPP4 (By similarity) . Transport of phosphorylated lysosomal enzymes from the Golgi complex and the cell surface to lysosomes. Lysosomal enzymes bearing phosphomannosyl residues bind specifically to mannose-6-phosphate receptors in the Golgi apparatus and the resulting receptor-ligand complex is transported to an acidic prelyosomal compartment where the low pH mediates the dissociation of the complex. This receptor also binds IGF2. .
