Target Alias: CD220; CD220 antigen; HHF5; Insulin receptor; IR; Kinase InsR
Product Type Specific: InsR protein kinase phosphosite-specific antibody
Antibody Code: PK951
Antibody Target Type: Phosphosite-specific
Antibody Phosphosite: Y1185
Protein UniProt: P06213
Protein SigNET: InsR
Antibody Type: Polyclonal
Antibody Host Species: Rabbit
Antibody Immunogen Source: Synthetic phosphopeptide patterned after human InsR
Antibody Immunogen Sequence: TRDI(pY)ETD(βA)C
Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues T1181 to D1188. Y1185 phosphoryation stimulates phosphotransferase activity and molecular ssociations. It is a major site of phosphorylation (≥483 reports by mass spectrometry in PhosphoSitePlus). InsR is known to be phosphorylated at this site in vitro by INSR, and Met.
Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced by solid phase synthesis on a multipep peptide synthesizer and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis. This peptide was coupled to KLH prior to immunization into rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were subcutaneously injected with KLH-coupled immunizing peptide every 4 weeks for 4 months. The sera from these animals was applied onto an agarose column to which the immunogen peptide was thio-linked. Antibody was eluted from the column with 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. Subsequently, the antibody solution was neutralized to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris.
Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Scientific Background: InsR (IR) is a protein-tyrosine kinase of the TK group and InsR family. It is a heterotetrameric 320-400 kDa protein complex composed of two extracellular alpha-subunits (insulin binding) and two membrane-spanning beta-subunits (tyrosine kinase signaling), linked by disulphide bonds. Binding of insulin to the receptor results in the downstream phosphorylation of several intracellular signalling components, including insulin receptor substrates (IRS1, 2, 3, 4), Shc, GAB1, CBL, and other intracellular signalling intermediates. Phosphorylated IRS1 recruits and activates the GRB2/SOS complex, which in turn leads to the activation of the Ras/Raf/MAP2K/MAPK signalling pathway. This pathway is mainly involved in the regulation of cell growth, survival, and cellular differentiation resulting from insulin signalling. Through the PI3K/Akt pathway, the activated insulin receptor controls various metabolic actions, including glucose transport, glycogen synthesis, and lipid metabolism. Insulin binds to InsR to trigger autophosphorylation at many sites, including Tyr-999, Ser-1001, Tyr-1185, Tyr-1189, Tyr-1190, Ser-1332, Ser-1333, Tyr-1355, Tyr-1361 and Thr-1375, which increases its phosphotransferase activity. Protein interactions are induced with phosphorylation of Tyr-999 (with SOCS3) and Tyr-1185, Tyr-1189 and Tyr-1190 (with IRS2 and PTP1B). Phosphorylation of Tyr-992 and Tyr-1011 inhibits the phosphotransferase activity of InsR. Binding of insulin to the InsR stimulates glucose uptake. Insulin receptor signalling helps to maintain fuel homeostasis and prevent diabetes. InsR signalling also increases the regeneration of adult beta-cells and the central control of nutrient homeostasis. InsR has also been linked with the development of insulin resistance, familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia Type 5 (HHF5), and gastric adenocarcinomas. InsR appears to be an oncoprotein (OP). Over activation of the insulin receptor signalling pathway has been linked to the development of several cancer types, including breast cancer. In addition, elevated InsR expression in breast cancer is correlated with poor patient survival. This description may include information annotated by UniProt and/or Google AI.
