Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2

Protein information

  • Protein ID: Q9Y6M1
  • Protein Name : Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2
  • Gene : IGF2BP2
  • Organism : Homo sapiens
  • Status : reviewed
  • Function : RNA-binding factor that recruits target transcripts to cytoplasmic protein-RNA complexes (mRNPs). This transcript 'caging' into mRNPs allows mRNA transport and transient storage. It also modulates the rate and location at which target transcripts encounter the translational apparatus and shields them from endonuclease attacks or microRNA-mediated degradation (By similarity). Preferentially binds to N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-containing mRNAs and increases their stability (PubMed:29476152). Binds to the 5'-UTR of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNAs (PubMed:9891060). Binding is isoform-specific. Binds to beta-actin/ACTB and MYC transcripts. Increases MYC mRNA stability by binding to the coding region instability determinant (CRD) and binding is enhanced by m6A-modification of the CRD (PubMed:29476152).
