Insulin-like growth factor II IRES
Template:Abbreviation

Avg length: 118.4 nucleotides
Avg identity: 95%

The insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) internal ribosome entry site IRES is found in the 5' UTR of IGF-II leader 2 mRNA. This RNA element allows cap-independent translation of the mRNA and it is thought that this family may facilitate a continuous IGF-II production in rapidly dividing cells during development.[1]
