Insulin-like growth factors -1 and -2 are important regulators of signalling that mediates growth and metabolism in cells. Insulin-like growth factor -1 shares structural homology with proinsulin and is mainly produced by liver. IGF-1 acts via specific receptor, IGF-1R, a heterodimeric tyrosine kinase receptor that signals to various second messenger pathways such as MAPK, Raf/Ras and PI3K cascades. IGF 1R is fully activated by phosphorylation of tyrosine residues at Tyr1158, Tyr1162 and Tyr1163. The effect of IGF-1 is by endocrine, paracrine and autocrine signalling. The effects of IGF-1R signalling are important at many developmental levels from cells to organ to organism, growth, differentiation, anti-apoptosis, proliferation and transformation. Irregular IGF-1 signaling has been implicated in many cancers including melanoma, breast, lung, colon and prostate Anti-phospho-IR/IGF1R (pTyr1158/1162/1163) specifically recognizes human receptor and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor phosphorylated at tyrosines 1158, 1162 and 1163. It may cross react with mouse and rat IR/IGF1R (100% homology).

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex disease which currently affects more than 460 million people and is one of the leading cause of death worldwide. Its development implies numerous metabolic dysfunctions and the onset of hyperglycaemia-induced chronic complications. Multiple ligands

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a serious chronic disease with an alarmingly growing worldwide prevalence. Current treatment of T2DM mainly relies on drug combinations in order to control blood glucose levels and consequently prevent the onset of hyperglycaemia-related complications.
