Molecular Characterization and Functional Insights into Goose IGF2BP2 During Skeletal Muscle Development. (PubMed, Animals (Basel))
Functionally, overexpression of IGF2BP2 in skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) was associated with significant changes in the expression of several genes linked to muscle development and signaling pathways, including upregulation of IGF1, EGFR, FGF19, BMP6, BMP2, ACVR1C and WNT5A and downregulation of MYBPC3, NODAL, HOXD13, TNXB, and ADD2 (Padj < 0.01). Furthermore, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis of these genes suggests that IGF2BP2 may coordinate key genes, contributing to its potential role in skeletal muscle development in geese.
