    Summary
    IGF-II was more potent than IGF-I in facilitating the binding interaction, and des(1-3)-IGF-I or insulin had no effect, suggesting that IGF binding to IGFBP-2 is required for this effect to be detected.

    Summary · context
    Binding appeared to be physiologically significant, as IGFBP-2 bound to human fibroblast ECM if IGF-I or IGF-II was added.
