Igf1r - insulin-like growth factor I receptor

Enables insulin-like growth factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including adrenal gland development; positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and positive regulation of meiotic cell cycle. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including gland development; peptidyl-tyrosine autophosphorylation; and regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Located in T-tubule. Is integral component of membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; limb; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including dementia (multiple); kidney cancer (multiple); liver disease (multiple); nervous system cancer (multiple); and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to human IGF1R (insulin like growth factor 1 receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
