{"symbol":"IGF2BP1","synonyms":["ZBP1","CRDBP","IMP-1","VICKZ1","CRD-BP","IMP1"],"name":"insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 1","description":"This gene encodes a member of the insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein family. The protein encoded by this gene contains four K homology domains and two RNA recognition motifs. It functions by binding to the mRNAs of certain genes, including insulin-like growth factor 2, beta-actin and beta-transducin repeat-containing protein, and regulating their translation. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
