Insulin-like growth factor II receptor as a multifunctional binding protein

Nature. 1987 Sep;329(6137):301-7. doi: 10.1038/329301a0.

Abstract

The primary structure of human insulin-like growth factor II receptor, predicted from the complementary DNA sequence, reveals a transmembrane receptor molecule with a large extracellular domain made up of fifteen repeat sequences and a small region homologous to the collagen-binding domain of fibronectin. The structural and biochemical features of the IGF-II receptor appear identical to those of the cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor.
