Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-IRS-1 (Ser302) (37C7) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of IRS-1 only when phosphorylated at Ser302.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser302 of mouse IRS-1 (equivalent to Ser307 of human IRS-1).

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of insulin treated (100 nM, 5 min) MCF7 and C2C12 cells using Phospho-IRS-1 (Ser302) (34C7) Rabbit mAb.

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).
