General description

Assay Dependent. It is recommended that the user determine the appropriate working dilution for their process.
Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is among the four IRS proteins (IRS-1-IRS-4) that mediate signalling by insulin receptor (IR) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor. IRS-1 has a pleckstrin homology domain and a phosphotyrosine-binding domain. . Phosphorylation of Tyr612 and Tyr632 fully activate the PI3K signalling pathway in response to insulin and induce translocation of GLUT4. Thus IRS-1 protein plays a vital role in mediating the metabolic actions of insulin via the PI3K pathway. Additionally, IRS-1 has the abililty to translocate to the nucleus, the mechanism of which is not very clear. The transcriptional activity of IRS-1 is involved in the development of breast and prostate cancers
The antibody recognizes human IRS-1 (pTyr612). It may cross react with in mouse, rat and chicken (100% homologous) IRS-1 (pTyr612).

Immunogen

synthetic phosphopeptide derived from the region of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) phosphorylated at tyrosine 612.
