Target data

Function

RNA-binding factor that may recruit target transcripts to cytoplasmic protein-RNA complexes (mRNPs). This transcript 'caging' into mRNPs allows mRNA transport and transient storage. It also modulates the rate and location at which target transcripts encounter the translational apparatus and shields them from endonuclease attacks or microRNA-mediated degradation. Preferentially binds to N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-containing mRNAs and increases their stability (PubMed:29476152). Binds to the 3'-UTR of CD44 mRNA and stabilizes it, hence promotes cell adhesion and invadopodia formation in cancer cells. Binds to beta-actin/ACTB and MYC transcripts. Increases MYC mRNA stability by binding to the coding region instability determinant (CRD) and binding is enhanced by m6A-modification of the CRD (PubMed:29476152). Binds to the 5'-UTR of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNAs.

Activity summary

IMP3 also known as IGF2BP3 is an oncofetal protein belonging to the insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein family. It has a molecular weight of around 65 kDa. IMP3 expresses in various tissues including embryonic tissues and several cancer types. In healthy adults the expression is minimal observed mostly in the testis placenta and some parts of the nervous system. It's significance in development and cancer makes it an important target for research.

Biological function summary

IMP3 plays a role in the regulation of mRNA stability localization and translation. It is a part of ribonucleoprotein complexes that facilitate these processes by binding to the 3' untranslated regions of target mRNAs. The protein influences the expression of genes involved in cell growth differentiation and migration. IMP3's ability to modulate mRNA fate contributes to cellular events essential for development and has implications in cancer progression.

Pathways

The involvement of IMP3 is significant in pathways like the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling pathway and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Within these pathways IMP3 modulates the activities of proteins such as IGF2 influencing cell proliferation and survival. Its participation in EMT is essential for processes like metastasis in cancer cells linking it to broader biological processes that govern cell movement and identity change.

Associated diseases and disorders

High IMP3 expression associates with various cancers including pancreatic and ovarian cancers. It has been connected to the progression and poor prognosis of these cancers. In pancreatic cancer IMP3 can interact with proteins like IGF2 enhancing tumor growth and metastasis. This connection makes IMP3 a potential biomarker for cancer diagnostics and therapeutic targeting.
