Somatomedin receptor
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Cell surface receptors that bind somatomedins
A somatomedin receptor is a receptor which binds the somatomedins (IGFs). Somatomedin is abbreviated to IGF, in reference to insulin-like growth factor.
There are two types:
- Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R)
- Insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF-2R)
