Distinct expression patterns of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins 2 and 5 during fetal and postnatal development.

abstract：:To examine the relationship between the expression of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2) and cell growth in a cell type with a defined IGF/IGFBP system, an ovine IGFBP-2 complementary DNA was overexpressed in C6 glioma cells. C6 cells produce IGFBP-3, IGFBP-4, a negligible amount of IGFBP-2, ...
