IRS-1 Inhibition Antibody Sampler Kit #12879

    Product Information

    Product Description

    The IRS-1 Inhibition Antibody Sampler Kit provides an economical means to evaluate insulin signaling negative feedback loops via phosphorylation of various IRS-1 serine residues. The kit includes enough antibody to perform two western blot experiments with each primary antibody.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Each activation state antibody recognizes the phosphorylated form of its target. All target residues are based on the sequence for mouse IRS-1, except Ser636/339 and Ser1101, which are based on the sequence for human IRS-1. IRS-1 (D23G12) Rabbit mAb recognizes total IRS-1 protein independent of its phosphorylation state.

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with synthetic phosphopeptides corresponding to residues surrounding mouse Ser307 (human Ser312), human Ser636/639 (mouse Ser632/635), and human Ser1101 (mouse Ser1097) of IRS-1. Polyclonal antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Monoclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with synthetic phosphopeptides corresponding to residues surrounding mouse Ser302 (human Ser307), mouse Ser318 (human Ser323), and mouse Ser612 (human 616) of IRS-1. IRS-1 (D23G12) rabbit monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the sequence surrounding Ser270 of human IRS-1 (mouse 1097).

    Background

    Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) is one of the major substrates of the insulin receptor kinase (1). IRS-1 contains multiple tyrosine phosphorylation motifs that serve as docking sites for SH2-domain containing proteins that mediate the metabolic and growth-promoting functions of insulin (2-4). IRS-1 also contains over 30 potential serine/threonine phosphorylation sites, many of which are related to negative feedback loops activated during insulin signaling. Ser302 (human Ser307) of IRS-1 is regulated by FOX01 (5), IKKγ, and MYO1C (6). Ser307 (human Ser312) of IRS-1 is phosphorylated by JNK (7) and IKK (8). PKC phosphorylates mouse IRS-1 at Ser318 (human Ser323) by insulin receptor activation or by other stimulation such as TPA, IL-6, and retinoic acid treatment (9-12). The PKC and mTOR pathways mediate phosphorylation of IRS-1 at Ser612 (human Ser616) and Ser632/635 (human Ser636/639), respectively (13,14). Phosphorylation of IRS-1 at Ser1097 (human Ser1101) is mediated by PKCθ and results in an inhibition of insulin signaling in the cell, suggesting a potential mechanism for insulin resistance in some models of obesity (15).
