IRS-1 (Insulin Receptor Substrate 1)
Description:
Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) is one of the major substrates of the insulin receptor kinase. IRS-1 contains multiple tyrosine phosphorylation motifs that serve as docking sites for SH2 domain containing proteins, which mediate the metabolic and growth promoting functions of insulin. IRS-1 also contains over 30 potential serine/threonine phosphorylation sites. Ser307 of IRS-1 is phosphorylated by JNK and IKK and Ser789 is phosphorylated by SIK-2, a member of AMPK family. The phosphorylation of Ser612 and Ser636/639 is mediated by the PKC and mTOR pathways, respectively and phosphorylation at Ser1101 is mediated by PKCtheta, resulting in an inhibition of insulin signaling in the cell, suggesting a potential mechanism for insulin resistance in some models of obesity.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1-2ug/ml
Immunohistochemistry: 2ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
