Somatomedin receptor

A somatomedin receptor is a receptor which binds the somatomedins (IGFs). Somatomedin is abbreviated to IGF, in reference to insulin-like growth factor.

There are two types:

• Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R)
• Insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF-2R)

• Somatomedin+Receptor at the U.S. National Library of Medicine Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)
