Summary: Enables mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity. Involved in several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of axon regeneration; and positive regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT. Located in axon; cytosol; and neuronal cell body. Part of catalytic step 2 spliceosome and precatalytic spliceosome. Is expressed in several structures, including epithelium; germline cell; gonad; head; and neuroblasts. Used to study carbohydrate metabolism disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including IGF2BP2 (insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2) and IGF2BP3 (insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3).

The conserved RNA-binding protein Imp is required for the specification and function of olfactory navigation circuitry in Drosophila.
Title: The conserved RNA-binding protein Imp is required for the specification and function of olfactory navigation circuitry in Drosophila.
Imp is expressed in INPs and newborn neurons where it regulates neuropil targeting in the central complex.

Imp/IGF2BP levels modulate individual neural stem cell growth and division through myc mRNA stability.
Title: Imp/IGF2BP levels modulate individual neural stem cell growth and division through myc mRNA stability.
IMP regulates Notch signalling by controlling the localisation of Kuzbanian to the apical domain, where Notch cleavage occurs, revealing a novel regulatory step in the Notch pathway.
Title: IMP regulates Kuzbanian to control the timing of Notch signalling in Drosophila follicle cells.
Study shows that the prion-like domain (PLD) of Drosophila Imp is essential for the developmentally-controlled localization of Imp ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules to axons and regulates in vivo axonal remodeling. Imp PLD restricts granule assembly, revealing a novel function for PLDs in RNP granule homeostasis. Study uncovers a physiological function for PLDs in the spatio-temporal control of neuronal RNP assemblies.
Title: The prion-like domain of Drosophila Imp promotes axonal transport of RNP granules in vivo.
the levels of Imp and Syp RNA-binding proteins regulate neuroblasts decommissioning.
Title: Imp and Syp RNA-binding proteins govern decommissioning of Drosophila neural stem cells.
the opposing Imp/Syp gradients encode stem cell age, specifying multiple cell fates within a lineage.
Title: Opposing intrinsic temporal gradients guide neural stem cell production of varied neuronal fates.
The RNA binding protein Imp is a key regulator of axonal remodeling.
Title: Imp promotes axonal remodeling by regulating profilin mRNA during brain development.
IGF-II messenger RNA binding protein (Imp) counteracts endogenous small interfering RNAs to stabilize upd RNA; but similar to upd, Imp expression decreases in the hub cells of older males, which is due to the targeting of Imp by the heterochronic microRNA let-7; in the absence of Imp, upd mRNA therefore becomes unprotected and susceptible to degradation
Title: The let-7-Imp axis regulates ageing of the Drosophila testis stem-cell niche.
a role for Imp in the male germline during both spermatid elongation and premeiotic spermatogenesis.
Title: Imp (IGF-II mRNA-binding protein) is expressed during spermatogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster.
