MeSH Heading: Insulin-Like Growth Factor II
Tree Number(s): D12.644.276.937.420; D12.776.124.862.425; D12.776.467.937.420; D23.529.937.420
Unique ID: D007335
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D007335
Scope Note: A well-characterized neutral peptide believed to be secreted by the LIVER and to circulate in the BLOOD. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like and mitogenic activities. The growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on SOMATOTROPIN. It is believed to be a major fetal growth factor in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR I, which is a major growth factor in adults.
Entry Term(s): IGF-2; IGF-II; Insulin Like Growth Factor II; Insulin-Like Somatomedin Peptide II; Multiplication-Stimulating Activity; Multiplication-Stimulating Factor; Somatomedin A; Somatomedin MSA
