Insulin-like growth factor 2

Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) is one of three protein hormones that share structural similarity with insulin. The MeSH definition reads: "A well-characterized neutral peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like and mitogenic activities. The growth factor has a major, but not…
