Anti-IGF2R M6PR

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor, also called Mannose 6 phosphate receptor (M6PR), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGF2R gene. This gene is mapped to 6q25.3. This gene encodes a receptor for both insulin-like growth factor 2 and mannose 6-phosphate, although the binding sites for either are located on different segments of the receptor. This receptor functions in the intracellular trafficking of lysosomal enzymes, the activation of transforming growth factor beta, and the degradation of insulin-like growth factor 2. While the related mouse gene shows exclusive expression from the maternal allele, imprinting of the human gene appears to be polymorphic, with only a minority of individuals showing expression from the maternal allele. Protein function: Mediates the transport of phosphorylated lysosomal enzymes from the Golgi complex and the cell surface to lysosomes (PubMed:2963003, PubMed:18817523). Lysosomal enzymes bearing phosphomannosyl residues bind specifically to mannose-6-phosphate receptors in the Golgi apparatus and the resulting receptor-ligand complex is transported to an acidic prelysosomal compartment where the low pH mediates the dissociation of the complex (PubMed:2963003, PubMed:18817523). The receptor is then recycled back to the Golgi for another round of trafficking through its binding to the retromer (PubMed:18817523). This receptor also binds IGF2 (PubMed:18046459). Acts as a positive regulator of T-cell coactivation by binding DPP4 (PubMed:10900005). [The UniProt Consortium]
