Background

IGFBP2, also known as BP2 and IBP2, is a member of the IGFBP family. It is predominantly expressed in fetal tissues that are highly proliferative, such as the early post-implantation epiblast, the ventricular zone of the rostral neuroepithelium, and has been found to be highly expressed in many cancers. It is a promising protein in non-communicable diseases such as obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes. IGFBP2 mediates IGF-independent tumorigenesis by participating in intracellular and nuclear regulatory networks and may serve as an excellent prognostic biomarker in various cancers.
