Background Information
The family of INS receptor substrates (IRS) consists of four proteins (IRS-1-IRS-4), which were initially characterized as typical cytosolic adaptor proteins involved in INS receptor (IR) and INS-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) signaling. Impaired glucose tolerance and INS resistance, and thus type 2 diabetes were demonstrated in Irs2 knockout mice. In vivo data also indicated that he regulation of beta-cell mass involves IRS2, while IRS1 is only required for proper INS production in beta-cells. IRS2, like IRS1, has a predicted molecular weight of 137 kDa, however, as a result of its extensive serine phosphorylation it separates on a SDS-PAGE as a band of approximately 150-185 kDa.
