- Insulin-like growth factor II IRES
The insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) internal ribosome entry site
IRES is found in the5' UTR of IGF-II leader 2mRNA . This RNA element allows cap-independenttranslation of the mRNA and it is thought that this family may facilitate a continuous IGF-II production in rapidly dividing cells during development.
