Description
Product Characteristics: 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.,IGF1R,CD221,IGFIR,IGFR,JTK13,Cancer,Signal Transduction,Kinase,Tyrosine kinases,Cell Biology & Developmental Biology,Apoptosis,Growth factor,Insulin and insulin-like,ESC Pluripotency and Differentiation,Immunology & Inflammation,CD markers,Cardiovascular,Angiogenesis,IGF1R
