General annotation (Comments)

Function

Binds to the 5'-UTR of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNAs. Binding is isoform-specific. May regulate translation of target mRNAs. Ref.5

Subunit structure

Interacts with HNRPD and IGF2BP1. Ref.6 Ref.9

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm. Note: Localized in cytoplasmic mRNP granules containing untranslated mRNAs. Localizes at the connecting piece and the tail of the spermatozoa. Ref.1 Ref.5 Ref.8 Ref.9

Tissue specificity

Expressed in oocytes, granulosa cells of small and growing follicles, Leydig cells, spermatogonia and semen (at protein level). Expressed in testicular cancer (at protein level). Expressed weakly in heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, bone marrow, colon, kidney, salivary glands, testis and pancreas. Detected in fetal liver, fetal ovary, gonocytes and interstitial cells of the testis. Ref.1 Ref.8

Domain

The third and fourth KH domains are important for binding to the untranslated region (UTR) of target mRNA. Ref.12

Miscellaneous

Autoantibodies against IGF2BP2 are detected in sera from some patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the RRM IMP/VICKZ family.

Contains 4 KH domains.

Contains 2 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAH21290.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

Isoform 2 (identifier: Q9Y6M1-1)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     358-400: Missing.
Isoform 3 (identifier: Q9Y6M1-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-80: MMNKLYIGNL...VDYSVSKKLR → MFSCPGHYHVDGFLNPG
Isoform 4 (identifier: Q9Y6M1-4)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-80: MMNKLYIGNL...VDYSVSKKLR → MFSCPGHYHVDGFLNPG
     113-113: Q → QVFAFSL
Isoform 5 (identifier: Q9Y6M1-5)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-80: MMNKLYIGNL...VDYSVSKKLR → MFSCPGHYHVDGFLNPG
     358-400: Missing.
Isoform 6 (identifier: Q9Y6M1-6)
