Gene: IGF2BP2
Alternate names for this Gene: IMP-2|IMP2|VICKZ2
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that binds the 5' UTR of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA and regulates its translation. It plays an important role in metabolism and variation in this gene is associated with susceptibility to diabetes. Alternative splicing and promoter usage results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes are found on several chromosomes.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 3
Location in Chromosome : 3q27.2
Description of this Gene: insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
