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.

To examine contributions of specific YXXM motifs in human insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) to mediating the metabolic actions of insulin, we studied IRS-1 mutants containing various substitutions of Phe for Tyr. In transfected NIH-3T3(IR) cells, insulin stimulation caused a 5-fold

Defects in the gene coding for dysferlin, a membrane-associated protein, affect many tissues, including skeletal muscles, with a resultant myopathy called dysferlinopathy. Dysferlinopathy manifests postgrowth with a progressive loss of skeletal muscle function, early intramyocellular lipid accumulation, and a striking

As in humans, obesity during pregnancy in mice results in elevated maternal insulin levels and metabolic programming of offspring. mTOR signaling regulates amino acid transport and may function as a placental nutrient sensor. Because obesity is a condition with increased

Intramuscular lipid accumulation is a common manifestation of chronic caloric excess and obesity that is strongly associated with insulin resistance. The mechanistic links between lipid accumulation in myocytes and insulin resistance are not completely understood. In this work, we used

Sulfonylureas (SUs) have been suggested to have an insulin-independent blood glucose-decreasing activity due to an extrapancreatic effect. However, a lack of adequate in vivo evidence makes this statement controversial. Here, we aimed to evaluate whether glimepiride has extrapancreatic blood glucose-lowering
