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.
