Background
IGFBP2 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2) is a member of the ISGBP family which bind various IGFs. IGFBP2 is overexpressed in a wide spectrum of other cancers, including glioma, prostate cancer, synovial sarcoma, neuroblastoma, colon cancer, adrenocortical cancer, lung cancer, Wilms' tumor, and hepatoblastoma. The overexpression of IGFBP2 also correlates with the aggressiveness of some tumors. IGFBP2 activates the expression of matrix metalloprotease 2, which contributes to cell invasiveness.Synonyms: IBP-2, IBP2, IGF-binding protein 2, IGFBP-2, Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2
