The human Ec peptide: the active core of a progression growth factor with species-specific mode of action
Hormones (Athens, Greece) ·doi:10.14310/horm.2002.1699

OBJECTIVE: Preferential IGF-1Ec expression has been firmly associated with skeletal muscle repair mechanisms, post-infarction remodeling of the myocardium, the pathophysiology of endometriosis and prostate cancer biology. Therefore, we have…

Evidence for the Possible Biological Significance of the igf-1 Gene Alternative Splicing in Prostate Cancer.
Frontiers in endocrinology ·doi:10.3389/fendo.2013.00031

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer (PCa), since it plays a key role in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The IGF-I actions are mediated mainly via its binding to…

Insulinlike Growth Factor-1Ec (MGF) Expression in Eutopic and Ectopic Endometrium: Characterization of the MGF E-Peptide Actions In Vitro
Molecular medicine (Cambridge, Mass.) ·doi:10.2119/molmed.2010.00043

The transcription of the insulinlike growth factor 1 (igf-1) gene generates three mRNA isoforms, namely IGF-1Ea, IGF-1Eb and IGF-1Ec (or MGF [mechano growth factor]). Herein, we analyzed the expression of IGF-1 isoforms in eutopic and ectop…
