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 phosphotyrosine binding-domain (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
