Summary
Enables imaginal disc growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in imaginal disc development; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; epithelial furrow; female germline cell; mesoderm; and visceral mesoderm derivative. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma and schizophrenia. Orthologous to several human genes including CHIT1 (chitinase 1); CHI3L1 (chitinase 3 like 1); and CHI3L2 (chitinase 3 like 2).

  1. The results indicate that Idgf2 and Idgf3 might be involved in different yet crucial immune functions in the Drosophila anti-nematode immune response. Idgf2 and Idgf3 modulate distinct immune functions in Drosophila larvae in response to Steinernema nematode infection.

  2. These findings provide evidence that IDGF2 is an important trophic factor promoting cellular and organismal survival.

  3. ifferential mass spectrometry analysis of these cells detected elevated levels of four of the six Idgf family members (Idgf1, Idgf2, Idgf4, and Idgf6) in flies mutant for bullwinkle (bwk), which encodes a transcription factor and is a known regulator of DA-tube morphogenesis. We show that, during oogenesis, dysregulation of Idgfs (either gain or loss of function) disrupts the formation of the DA tubes
