IGF-2 (AB1349) Rabbit mAb (Ready to Use)

Insulin- like growth factor II (IGF- 2) is the protein hormones which belongs to the family of insulin- like growth factors that share structural similarity to insulin. It is secreted by the liver and circulates in the blood. In fetal, IGF- 2 is a major growth factor that regulating fetoplacental development influenced by placental lactogen. It is also involed in tissue differentiation. In adults, IGF- 2 is involved in glucose metabolism in liver, adipose tissue and skeletal muscle.
