Applications Key:  W=Western Blotting  IP=Immunoprecipitation
Reactivity Key:  H=Human  M=Mouse  R=Rat
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 (Ser1101) Antibody detects endogenous IRS-1 protein only when phosphorylated at serine 1101. The antibody cross-reacts with IRS-2.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Ser1101 of human IRS-1. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of IRS-1 (#2382) antibody-immunoprecipitated pellets from differentiated C2C12 cells, unstimulated, insulin-stimulated (100 nM for 15 min) or PMA-stimulated (200 mM for 30 min), using Phospho-IRS-1 (Ser1101) Antibody (upper) or IRS-1 Antibody #2382 (lower).

IP

IP

Immunprecipitation of Phospho-IRS-1 from insulin treated MCF7 cell extracts using Phospho-IRS-1 (Ser1101) antibody (Lane 1). Lane 2: No antibody control. Lane 3: Input control.

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 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, which suggests a potential mechanism for insulin resistance in some models of obesity (10).
