Western blot - Anti-Insulin Receptor antibody (AB137747)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-Insulin Receptor antibody staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab137747 was shown to bind specifically to Insulin Receptor. A band was observed at 85/200 kDa in wild-type HepG2 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in INSR knockout cell line ab282827 (knockout cell lysate ab283051). Pro-form of INSR is observed at 200 kDa and the mature form observed at 90 kDa. To generate this image, wild-type and INSR knockout HepG2 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

Supplementary information

The insulin receptor (INSR) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as a receptor for insulin. Known also as CD220 the receptor has a molecular weight of about 320 kDa. It is widely expressed in insulin-sensitive tissues such as liver muscle and adipose tissues. The insulin receptor consists of two α subunits and two β subunits forming a heterotetramer. These subunits are located outside and inside the cell membrane respectively. The α subunits bind insulin while the β subunits possess tyrosine kinase activity important for downstream signaling.
Biological function summary

Insulin receptor plays a role in facilitating the effects of insulin on glucose and lipid metabolism. When insulin a protein binds to the insulin receptor it undergoes a conformational change that activates its intrinsic kinase activity. This activation further leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular targets resulting in modulation of cellular functions. Insulin receptor also participates in the formation of signaling complexes through interaction with substrates like insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins which are important for the transmission of the insulin signal inside cells.

Pathways

Insulin receptor is central to the insulin signaling pathway and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Activation of the insulin receptor triggers the insulin signaling cascade which involves various proteins like PI3 kinase and Akt that contribute to glucose uptake and metabolism. In the MAPK pathway the insulin receptor influences gene expression related to cell growth and differentiation. These pathways intertwine with other hormone signaling systems and affect numerous physiological processes critical for maintaining metabolic homeostasis.

Aberrations in insulin receptor function are linked to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Defective signaling through this receptor impairs glucose transport into cells contributing to hyperglycemia. Disorders in insulin receptor activity also relate to metabolic syndrome a cluster of conditions increasing the risk of heart disease. Proteins connected to these conditions include IRS proteins and PI3 kinase highlighting the integrated roles these components play in metabolic regulation. Developing anti-insulin receptor antibodies offers potential therapeutic interventions to modulate receptor function and manage these disorders effectively.

Target data

Receptor tyrosine kinase which mediates the pleiotropic actions of insulin. Binding of insulin leads to phosphorylation of several intracellular substrates, including, insulin receptor substrates (IRS1, 2, 3, 4), SHC, GAB1, CBL and other signaling intermediates. Each of these phosphorylated proteins serve as docking proteins for other signaling proteins that contain Src-homology-2 domains (SH2 domain) that specifically recognize different phosphotyrosine residues, including the p85 regulatory subunit of PI3K and SHP2. Phosphorylation of IRSs proteins lead to the activation of two main signaling pathways : the PI3K-AKT/PKB pathway, which is responsible for most of the metabolic actions of insulin, and the Ras-MAPK pathway, which regulates expression of some genes and cooperates with the PI3K pathway to control cell growth and differentiation. Binding of the SH2 domains of PI3K to phosphotyrosines on IRS1 leads to the activation of PI3K and the generation of phosphatidylinositol-(3, 4, 5)-triphosphate (PIP3), a lipid second messenger, which activates several PIP3-dependent serine/threonine kinases, such as PDPK1 and subsequently AKT/PKB. The net effect of this pathway is to produce a translocation of the glucose transporter SLC2A4/GLUT4 from cytoplasmic vesicles to the cell membrane to facilitate glucose transport. Moreover, upon insulin stimulation, activated AKT/PKB is responsible for : anti-apoptotic effect of insulin by inducing phosphorylation of BAD; regulates the expression of gluconeogenic and lipogenic enzymes by controlling the activity of the winged helix or forkhead (FOX) class of transcription factors. Another pathway regulated by PI3K-AKT/PKB activation is mTORC1 signaling pathway which regulates cell growth and metabolism and integrates signals from insulin. AKT mediates insulin-stimulated protein synthesis by phosphorylating TSC2 thereby activating mTORC1 pathway. The Ras/RAF/MAP2K/MAPK pathway is mainly involved in mediating cell growth, survival and cellular differentiation of insulin. Phosphorylated IRS1 recruits GRB2/SOS complex, which triggers the activation of the Ras/RAF/MAP2K/MAPK pathway. In addition to binding insulin, the insulin receptor can bind insulin-like growth factors (IGFI and IGFII). Isoform Short has a higher affinity for IGFII binding. When present in a hybrid receptor with IGF1R, binds IGF1. PubMed : 12138094 shows that hybrid receptors composed of IGF1R and INSR isoform Long are activated with a high affinity by IGF1, with low affinity by IGF2 and not significantly activated by insulin, and that hybrid receptors composed of IGF1R and INSR isoform Short are activated by IGF1, IGF2 and insulin. In contrast, PubMed : 16831875 shows that hybrid receptors composed of IGF1R and INSR isoform Long and hybrid receptors composed of IGF1R and INSR isoform Short have similar binding characteristics, both bind IGF1 and have a low affinity for insulin. In adipocytes, inhibits lipolysis (By similarity).
