Product Overview

Accession | NM_005544 |
Synonym | HIRS-1 |
Background | IRS1 is the substrate for the insulin tyrosine kinase receptor and is found in a variety of insulin-responsive cells and tissues. IRS1 protein has no intrinsic enzymatic activity but acts as a docking protein, via the SH2 domains, for mediating the insulin downstream signaling events. IRS1 has been shown to associate with the 14-3-3 family of proteins and this could play a role in the regulation of insulin sensitivity by interrupting the association between the insulin receptor and IRS1 (1). IRS1 may be associated with colorectal cancer and diet and related factors may affect the risk by modifying plasma insulin levels. Thus, the inter-individual variation in insulin signaling mediated by IRS1 may play a plausible role in the development of colorectal cancer (2). |

Target Details
Target Function | May mediate the control of various cellular processes by insulin. When phosphorylated by the insulin receptor binds specifically to various cellular proteins containing SH2 domains such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase p85 subunit or GRB2. Activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase when bound to the regulatory p85 subunit. |
