Insulin receptor substrate



Insulin receptor substrate (IRS) is an important ligand in the insulin response of human cells.

IRS-1, for example, is an IRS protein which contains a PTB-domain. In addition, the insulin receptor contains a NPXpY domain. The PTB-domain binds the NPXpY domain. Thus, the insulin receptor binds IRS.

Genes

  • IRS1 (see also Insulin receptor substrate 1)
  • IRS2 (see also Insulin receptor substrate 2)
  • IRS3L
  • IRS4
