This gene encodes a member of the IGF-II mRNA-binding protein (IMP) family. The protein encoded by this gene contains four KH domains and two RRM domains. It functions by binding to the 5' UTR of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA and regulating IGF2 translation. Alternative promoter usage and alternate splicing result in multiple variants encoding different isoforms.,IGF2BP2,IMP-2,IMP2,VICKZ2,Epigenetics & Nuclear Signaling,RNA Binding,Signal Transduction,Cell Biology & Developmental Biology,Growth factor,Endocrine & Metabolism,Endocrine and metabolic diseases,Metabolic disorders,Immunology & Inflammation,IGF2BP2
