    GlossaryInsulin-like Growth Factor 2 (IGF-2)

    protein involved in growth, development, and cell survival

    Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 (IGF-2) is a protein that plays a crucial role in growth and development, particularly during fetal development. It functions similarly to insulin and is involved in cell growth, differentiation, and survival. IGF-2 is also important in tissue regeneration and repair, and its dysregulation has been linked to various conditions, including cancer and growth disorders.
