CD221 Gene ID | 3480 |
---|---|
CD221 Official Full Name | insulin like growth factor 1 receptor |
CD221 Alias | IGF-1 R, IGF1R |
CD221 Cellular Expression | T; B; NK; Dendritic; Endothelial; Epithelial; Granulocyte; Macrophage; Stem cell |
CD221 Ligand/Receptor/Association | insulin, IGF-I, IGF-II |
CD221 Function | Receptor for IGF-I and IGF-II. Mediates mitogenic and anti-apoptotic signals |
CD221 Summary | This receptor binds insulin-like growth factor with a high affinity. It has tyrosine kinase activity. The insulin-like growth factor I receptor plays a critical role in transformation events. Cleavage of the precursor generates alpha and beta subunits. It is highly overexpressed in most malignant tissues where it functions as an anti-apoptotic agent by enhancing cell survival. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014] |
