The insulin-like growth factor II/mannose 6-phosphate receptor (IGF2R) carries out multiple regulatory and transport functions, and disruption of IGF2R function has been implicated as a mechanism to increase cell proliferation. Several missense IGF2R mutations have been identified in human cancers, including the following amino acid substitutions occurring in the extracytoplasmic domain of the receptor: Cys-1262 --> Ser, Gln-1445 --> His, Gly-1449 --> Val, Gly-1464 --> Glu, and Ile-1572 --> Thr. To determine what effects these mutations have on IGF2R function, mutant and wild-type FLAG epitope-tagged IGF2R constructs lacking the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains were characterized for binding of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II and a mannose 6-phosphate-bearing pseudoglycoprotein termed PMP-BSA (where PMP is pentamannose phosphate and BSA is bovine serum albumin). The Ile-1572 --> Thr mutation eliminated IGF-II binding while not affecting PMP-BSA binding. Gly-1449 --> Val and Cys-1262 --> Ser each showed 30-60% decreases in the number of sites available to bind both (125)I-IGF-II and (125)I-PMP-BSA. In addition, the Gln-1445 --> His mutant underwent a time-dependent loss of IGF-II binding, but not PMP-BSA binding, that was not observed for wild type. In all, four of the five cancer-associated mutants analyzed demonstrated altered ligand binding, providing further evidence that loss of IGF2R function is characteristic of certain cancers.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007335 Insulin-Like Growth Factor II 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.

D017527 Receptor, IGF Type 2 A receptor that is specific for IGF-II and mannose-6-phosphate. The receptor is a 250-kDa single chain polypeptide which is unrelated in structure to the type 1 IGF receptor (RECEPTOR, IGF TYPE 1) and does not have a tyrosine kinase domain.

D019656 Loss of Heterozygosity The loss of one allele at a specific locus, caused by a deletion mutation; or loss of a chromosome from a chromosome pair, resulting in abnormal HEMIZYGOSITY. It is detected when heterozygous markers for a locus appear monomorphic because one of the ALLELES was deleted. Allelic Loss,Heterozygosity, Loss of,Allelic Losses,Heterozygosity Loss
D020125 Mutation, Missense A mutation in which a codon is mutated to one directing the incorporation of a different amino acid. This substitution may result in an inactive or unstable product.
