Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) is a signalling adapter protein that in humans is encoded by the IRS-1 gene.
It is mapped to 2q36.3.
This gene exhibited no intrinsic enzyme activity, and it can serve as a docking protein involved in binding and activating other signal transduction molecules after being phosphorylated on tyrosine by insulin receptor kinase.
IRS1 plays a key role in transmitting signals from the insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptors to intracellular pathways PI3K/Akt and Erk MAP kinase pathways.
IRS1 also has important biological function for both metabolic and mitogenic (growth promoting) pathways.
In addition to those, IRS1 is a key regulator of PI3K within malignant cells.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry.
Other applications not tested.
