The IRS4 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO18114) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the insulin receptor substrate 4 (IRS4) protein. Raised in rabbits, this antibody is highly reactive with human samples and is validated for use in various applications, including Western blotting. By binding to the IRS4 protein, this antibody enables precise detection and analysis in different cell types, making it an ideal choice for studies in the fields of cell biology and diabetes research.IRS4 is a key regulator in insulin signaling pathways, playing a crucial role in glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.
Dysregulation of IRS4 has been linked to insulin resistance, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. Therefore, understanding the function and regulation of IRS4 is essential for developing therapeutic strategies to manage these conditions effectively. Researchers can rely on the IRS4 Polyclonal Antibody to accurately study the role of IRS4 in various cellular processes and disease states.

Background:
IRS4 encodes the insulin receptor substrate 4, a cytoplasmic protein that contains many potential tyrosine and serine/threonine phosphorylation sites. Tyrosine-phosphorylated IRS4 protein has been shown to associate with cytoplasmic signalling molecules that contain SH2 domains. The IRS4 protein is phosphorylated by the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase upon receptor stimulation
Synonyms:
insulin receptor substrate 4
UniProt Protein Function:
IRS4: Acts as an interface between multiple growth factor receptors possessing tyrosine kinase activity, such as insulin receptor, IGF1R and FGFR1, and a complex network of intracellular signaling molecules containing SH2 domains. Involved in the IGF1R mitogenic signaling pathway. Promotes the AKT1 signaling pathway and BAD phosphorylation during insulin stimulation without activation of RPS6KB1 or the inhibition of apoptosis. Interaction with GRB2 enhances insulin-stimulated mitogen-activated protein kinase activity. May be involved in nonreceptor tyrosine kinase signaling in myoblasts. Plays a pivotal role in the proliferation/differentiation of hepatoblastoma cell through EPHB2 activation upon IGF1 stimulation. May play a role in the signal transduction in response to insulin and to a lesser extent in response to IL4 and GH on mitogenesis. Plays a role in growth, reproduction and glucose homeostasis. May act as negative regulators of the IGFI signaling pathway by suppressing the function of IRS1 and IRS2.Protein type: Adaptor/scaffoldChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: Xq22.3Cellular Component: plasma membrane; cytosolMolecular Function: protein binding; signal transducer activity; SH3/SH2 adaptor activity; phosphoinositide 3-kinase binding; insulin receptor bindingBiological Process: regulation of lipid metabolic process; positive regulation of signal transduction; insulin receptor signaling pathway; signal transduction
