Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology. Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-IRS-1 (Ser307) Antibody detects endogenous IRS-1 only when phosphorylated at serine 307. This antibody does not cross-react with other related phospho-proteins.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic phospho-peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Ser307 of mouse IRS-1 (equivalent to Ser312 of human IRS-1). Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of MCF-7 cell extracts, unstimulated and insulin-stimulated (100 nM for 5 min), using IRS-1 Antibody #2382 (left) and Phospho-IRS-1 (Ser307) Antibody (right).

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from CHO IR/IRS-1 cells (transfected with insulin receptor and IRS-1), untreated or insulin-treated (100 nM for 5 min), showing an increase in phospho-IRS-1 (Ser307) with insulin stimulation, using Phospho-IRS-1 (Ser307) Antibody.

IP

IP

Immunoprecipitation of IRS-1 from differentiated C2C12 cell extracts, untreated or insulin-treated for the indicated times, using IRS-1 Antibody #2382, followed by Western blot with either Phospho-IRS-1 (Ser307) Antibody, or IRS-1 Antibody #2382.


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. Ser307 of IRS-1 is phosphorylated by JNK (5) and IKK (6) while Ser789 is phosphorylated by SIK-2, a member of the AMPK family (7). The PKC and mTOR pathways mediate phosphorylation of IRS-1 at Ser612 and Ser636/639, respectively (8,9). Phosphorylation of IRS-1 at 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 (10).
