摘要:
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) play active role in mitogenic and metabolic processes. In the peripheral circulation, they are mostly bound to specific IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). Proteolysis of IGFBPs releases free, active IGFs. IGFBP-2 is the second most abundant of the six binding proteins and its concentration increases in catabolic states. The possible interaction between IGFBP-2 and other proteins in the circulation was investigated in this study. Our results showed that IGFBP-2 associates with alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M), a protease inhibitor. Formation of IGFBP-2/alpha 2M complexes most likely contributes to the regulation of IGFBP-2 proteolysis and, thus, the activity of IGFs.
