Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

For a carrier free (BSA and azide free) version of this product see product #98649.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Insulin Receptor β (E9L5V) XP® Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total insulin receptor β. The 50 kDa band(s) seen on western blot is a probable partial degradation product of insulin receptor β.

Species Reactivity:

Human, Mouse, Rat

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Leu1374 of human insulin receptor.

Background

Insulin receptor (InsR) is a heterodimeric membrane receptor tyrosine kinase. It is comprised of an extracellular α-subunit containing the ligand binding domain, and a β-subunit containing an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain (1). Binding of insulin to InsR results in receptor autophosphorylation, and subsequent tyrosine kinase activation (2). This provides a docking site for various adaptor molecules, including insulin receptor substrate (IRS), Gab and Shc, phosphorylation of which promotes subsequent activation of multiple downstream signaling pathways including MAPK, PI3K, and TC10 (3,4). These events lead to increased glucose uptake and metabolism, and can promote cell growth. Loss-of-function mutation or desensitization of the InsR are two major contributors to insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes (5).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
