Target description

Insulin receptor (UniProt: P06213; also known as EC:2.7.10.1, IR, CD220) is encoded by the INSR gene (Gene ID: 3643) in human. Insulin is the major hormone that counters the concerted action of a number of hyperglycemia generating and enhances glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue, and reduces gluconeogenesis and lipolysis. Its actions are mediated via binding to the Insulin receptor. Insulin receptor is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-27), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form. It is a tetrameric receptor composed of two a and two β chains linked by disulfide bonds. The a chains carry the insulin-binding region, while the β chains carry the kinase domain. Upon insulin binding, the receptor undergoes autophosphorylation that activates its kinase activity localized in the β subunit. The tyrosine kinase activity then leads to phosphorylation of several intracellular substrates, including, insulin receptor substrates (IRS1, 2, 3, 4), SHC, GAB1, CBL and other signaling intermediates. These phosphorylated proteins serve as docking proteins for other signaling proteins that contain SH2 domains that specifically recognize different phosphotyrosine residues, including the p85 regulatory subunit of PI3K and SHP2. Phosphorylation of IRSs proteins lead to the activation of the PI3K-AKT/PKB pathway, which is responsible for most of the metabolic actions of insulin, and the Ras-MAPK pathway, which regulates expression of some genes and cooperates with the PI3K pathway to control cell growth and differentiation. Upon insulin binding the receptor undergoes autophosphorylation that activates its kinase activity localized in the β subunit. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
