'''Insulin-like growth factor receptors''' (IGFR) are transmembrane receptors which are stimulated by insulin-like growth factors (IGF). IGFR contains 2 extracellular α chains and 2 transmembranal β chains. Upon binding of IGF, a tyrosine in the β chain becomes autophosphorylated and triggers a cascade of intracellular signaling. The insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) receptor belongs to the large class of [[Receptor tyrosine kinases|tyrosine kinase receptors]]. See also [[IGF1]], [[Growth factors]] and [[Kinase-linked, enzyme-linked and related receptors]]. | '''Insulin-like growth factor receptors''' (IGFR) are transmembrane receptors which are stimulated by insulin-like growth factors (IGF).
