Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2)
Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) is a crucial peptide involved in growth and development, influencing cellular processes through its interactions with IGF receptors. Glycosylation of IGF2 has garnered attention for its potential in therapeutic and diagnostic applications. In therapeutic contexts, IGF2 glycopeptides may be utilized to treat growth disorders and various cancers due to their role in cell proliferation and differentiation. Diagnostic applications explore their use as biomarkers for disease detection and monitoring, given their altered expression in several pathological conditions.
