IGF1R

(redirected from Insulin-like growth factor I receptor)

IGF1R

A gene on chromosome 15q26.3 that encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor with a high binding affinity for insulin-like growth factor, which plays a key role in transformation events in cell growth and survival.

Molecular pathology
IGF1R is highly overexpressed in cancer where it has anti-apoptotic activity, enhancing malignant cell survival.
