NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein family. The protein encoded by this gene contains four K homology domains and two RNA recognition motifs. It functions by binding to the mRNAs of certain genes, including insulin-like growth factor 2, beta-actin and beta-transducin repeat-containing protein, and regulating their translation. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
Uniprot Description
IGF2BP1: a conserved trans-acting factor that can control translation of specific mRNAs in vivo. Contains four K homology (KH) domains and two RNA recognition motifs. It functions by binding to the 5' UTR of the target mRNAs and repressing translation. Target mRNAs include those encoding beta-actin and insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2). Tyrosine phosphorylation apparently abolishes translational repression of actin expression by decreasing its binding beta-actin mRNA. May have a role in progression of ovarian cancer. Contains nuclear export signals within the RNA-binding KH2 and KH4 domains. Aberrant expression may interfere with c-myc regulation.

Product Notes
The IGF2BP1 igf2bp1 (Catalog #AAA3224760) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ZBP1, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
