Insulin-like growth 2 factor molecule
Insulin-like growth factor 2 molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of the hormone insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2). IGFs are polypeptides that are similar in their molecular structure to insulin. IGF-2 is secreted by the brain, kidney, pancreas and muscle in mammals, and is thought to be important for early foetal growth and development during pregnancy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a computer-generated model of the Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) molecule. With its intricate structure and vibrant colors set against a clean white background, this image beautifully captures the essence of biological complexity. IGFs are polypeptides that bear striking resemblance to insulin in terms of their molecular makeup. IGF-2, specifically secreted by various organs including the brain, kidney, pancreas, and muscle in mammals, plays a crucial role in early fetal growth and development during pregnancy. The visual representation highlights the significance of IGF-2 as a single regulator within our physiological system. Its molecular composition is meticulously depicted through space fill models and cut-outs, allowing us to appreciate its three-dimensional arrangement. With implications spanning biology, chemistry, endocrinology, and molecular biology among others, this photograph underscores the multidisciplinary nature of studying such molecules. It serves as a reminder of how biochemistry intertwines with cellular processes at an atomic level to regulate cell growth and contribute to gestatory milestones. As we delve into proteomics and explore quaternary structures alongside tertiary arrangements within these compounds' framework; we gain deeper insights into their functions within our bodies. This image encapsulates not only scientific curiosity but also celebrates the marvels of life's beginnings – reminding us that even on a microscopic scale, miracles unfold every day.
