Temporally regulated expression of insulin and insulin-like growth factors and their receptors in early mammalian development

Temporally regulated expression of insulin and insulin-like growth factors and their receptors in early mammalian development

S Heyner et al. Bioessays. 1989 Dec.

Abstract

Recent studies of early development in a number of invertebrate and vertebrate species have suggested that growth factors and their receptors may play important roles in differentiation as well as cell proliferation. In the mouse embryo, the expression of the receptors for insulin and insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF-I and -II) are temporally regulated. The ontogeny of receptor and ligand expression within the insulin and IGF gene family suggests that the very earliest stages of mammalian embryogenesis may be subject to regulation by autocrine and paracrine factors from maternal and embryonic sources.
