Thyroid cancers, several colorectal, prostate, stomach cancers along with few malignant melanomas, ovarian and liver cancers showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were generally negative.
This receptor binds insulin-like growth factor with a high affinity. It has tyrosine kinase activity. The insulin-like growth factor I receptor plays a critical role in transformation events. Cleavage of the precursor generates alpha and beta subunits. It is highly overexpressed in most malignant tissues where it functions as an anti-apoptotic agent by enhancing cell survival. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
