Summary of IRS1

IRS-1 plays important biological function for both metabolic and growth promoting pathways. IRS-1 may also play a role in cancer, as it has been shown that mice with overproduction of IRS-1 develop breast cancer . (R) Lower levels of IRS1 cause insulin resistance. IRS1 is needed for cells to take up insulin . (Ref)

The Function of IRS1

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.

Advanced Summary

IRS-1 plays important biological function for both metabolic and growth promoting pathways: mice deficient of IRS1 have only a mild diabetic phenotype, but a pronounced growth impairment.  Mice without IRS1 only reach 50% of the weight of normal mice.

IRS-1 may also play a role in cancer, as it has been shown that mice with overproduction of IRS-1 develop breast cancer . (Ref) Lower levels of IRS1 cause insulin resistance. IRS1 is needed for cells to take up insulin . (Ref)

     From NCBI Gene: Diabetes mellitus type 2From UniProt: Diabetes mellitus, non-insulin-dependent (NIDDM): A multifactorial disorder of glucose homeostasis caused by a lack of sensitivity to the body's own insulin . Affected individuals usually have an obese body habitus and manifestations of a metabolic syndrome characterized by diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia. The disease results in long-term complications that affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels. [MIM:125853]

     From NCBI Gene: This gene encodes a protein which is phosphorylated by insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. Mutations in this gene are associated with type II diabetes and susceptibility to insulin resistance. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009] From UniProt: 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.
