General description
IRS1 (Insulin Receptor Substrate 1) transmits insulin signals via metabolic and mitogenic pathways. It is heavily phosphorylated on both serine and tyrosine residues. These phosphorylated tyrosines enable IRS to act as a docking protein that binds SH2 domains of such proteins as PI3 Kinase (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) and GRB2, resulting in activation. Over expression and phosphorylation of serine is associated with insulin resistance and breast cancer.

Research Category
Metabolism
Research Sub Category
Insulin/Energy Signaling
Western Blot (SNAP ID) Analysis: 0.1 µg/mL from a previous lot detected IRS-1 on 10 µg of 3T3/A31, 3T3/L1, L6 and MCF7 cell lysates.
Immunoprecipitation Analysis: 1 µg from a previous lot immunoprecipitated IRS-1 from 100 µg of MCF7 cell lysate. Arrow indicates IRS-1 (~160 kDa). There is cross reactivity of the detection antibody with the heavy chaing of Rabbit IgG as shown at ~50 kDa.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Antibody recognizes the C-terminus of IRS1.
Physical form
Format: Purified
Protein A purified
Purified Rabbit Monoclonal IgG Supernatant in buffer containing 0.1 M Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl) with 0.05% sodium azide and 40% glycerol.
Preparation Note
Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol containing solutions to become frozen during storage.
Analysis Note
Control
3T3/A31, 3T3/L1, L6, or MCF7 cell lysates
Evaluated by Western Blot in 3T3/A31, 3T3/L1, L6 or MCF7 cell lysates.
Western Blot Analysis: 0.1 µg/mL of this antibody detected IRS-1 on 10 µg of 3T3/A31, 3T3/L1, L6, or MCF7 cell lysates.
Other Notes
