Localization of insulin-like growth factor genes to human chromosomes 11 and 12. 1984

J V Tricoli, and L B Rall, and J Scott, and G I Bell, and T B Shows

The insulin-like growth factors IGF-I and IGF-II are required for growth and development. Both are single-chain proteins (of 70 and 67 amino acids respectively) derived from precursors by proteolytic processing. IGF-I may be particularly important in promoting normal stature and IGF-II may be a fetal growth hormone. The IGF proteins are probably synthesized by many normal tissues and by some tumours. The secretion of growth factors by tumours and tumour-derived cell lines suggests that they may act as autocrine regulators of cell proliferation. Because of the possible role of these proteins in growth disorders and cancer, and their sequence homology with insulin, we have determined their chromosomal localization. Using somatic cell hybrids and cloned cDNA probes for these proteins, we have assigned the genes for IGF-I and IGF-II to human chromosomes 12 and 11, respectively. We present evidence that the IGF-II gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 11 with a ras proto-oncogene and the insulin structural gene, and also suggest the existence of a fragment length polymorphism using the IGF-I probe.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
