Journal ArticleDOI

M6P/IGF2R imprinting evolution in mammals.

TL;DR: It is shown that M6P/IGF2R is not imprinted in monotremes and does not encode for a receptor that binds IGF2, and invasive placentation and gestational fetal growth are not required for imprinted genes to evolve.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disruption of Ligand Binding to the Insulin-like Growth Factor II/Mannose 6-Phosphate Receptor by Cancer-associated Missense Mutations

TL;DR: Four of the five cancer-associated mutants analyzed demonstrated altered ligand binding, providing further evidence that loss of IGF2R function is characteristic of certain cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin-sensitive phosphorylation of serine 1293/1294 on the human insulin receptor by a tightly associated serine kinase.

TL;DR: Analysis of the serine phosphate incorporated into partially purified or highly purified insulin receptor suggests that an insulin-sensitive serine kinase (IRSK) copurifies with the insulin receptor, and HPLC and two-dimensional separation indicate that the same phosphopeptide is obtained when affinity-purified insulin receptors are phosphorylated by IRSK.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single Transmembrane Domain Insulin-Like Growth Factor-II/Mannose-6-Phosphate Receptor Regulates Central Cholinergic Function by Activating a G-Protein-Sensitive, Protein Kinase C-Dependent Pathway

TL;DR: It is reported for the first time that the single transmembrane domain IGF-II/M6P receptor expressed in the rat brain is G-protein coupled and is involved in the regulation of central cholinergic function via the activation of specific intracellular signaling cascades.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Insulin-Like Growth Factor II (IGF-II) Affinity-Enhancing Domain Localized within Extracytoplasmic Repeat 13 of the IGF-II/Mannose 6-Phosphate Receptor

TL;DR: It is revealed that two independent receptor domains are involved in the formation of a high-affinity binding site for IGF-II, and that a complete repeat 13 is required for high-Affinity IGF- II binding.
