Protocols

Description

CST's PathScan® Phospho-IRS-1 (panTyr) Sandwich ELISA Antibody Pair is offered as an economical alternative to our PathScan® Phospho-IRS-1 (panTyr) Sandwich ELISA Kit #7133. Capture and detection antibodies (100X stocks) and an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (1000X stock) are supplied. Sufficient reagents are supplied for 4 x 96 well ELISAs. The IRS-1 Rabbit Capture Antibody is coated in PBS overnight in a 96 well microplate. After blocking, cell lysate is added followed by a Phospho-Tyrosine Mouse Detection Antibody and an HRP-conjugated, Anti-Mouse IgG Antibody. HRP substrate (TMB) is added for color development. The magnitude of the absorbance for this developed color is proportional to the quantity of IRS-1 phosphorylated on tyrosine.Antibodies in kit are custom formulations specific to kit.

Specificity / Sensitivity

For Antibody Pair specificity and sensitivity, please refer to the corresponding PathScan® Sandwich ELISA Kit. Note: This antibody pair detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.

Sandwich ELISA

Sandwich ELISA

The relationship between the protein concentration of the lysate from untreated and insulin-treated CHO (IR/IRS-1) cells and the absorbance at 450 nm using PathScan® Phospho-IRS-1 (panTyr) Sandwich ELISA Antibody Pair #7347 is shown. After overnight starvation, CHO (IR/IRS-1) cells were treated with insulin (100 nM) for 7 minutes at 37ºC and then lysed.

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).
