Insulin Receptor Antibody GGA-9 recognizes the insulin receptor (INSR), a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase that mediates the biological effects of insulin. INSR is synthesized as a single precursor that undergoes proteolytic processing to generate extracellular alpha and transmembrane beta subunits. These subunits assemble through disulfide bonds to form the mature heterotetrameric receptor. The alpha subunits participate in insulin binding, while the beta subunits contain the intracellular tyrosine kinase domains responsible for initiating receptor signaling.
Binding of insulin induces conformational changes in INSR that activate its intrinsic kinase activity and promote phosphorylation of receptor substrates. Downstream signaling involves pathways including PI3K-AKT and RAS-MAPK, connecting insulin receptor activation with glucose transport, glycogen synthesis, lipid and protein metabolism, cellular growth, and survival. Through these signaling networks, INSR has a central role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis and coordinating cellular responses to circulating insulin.
Altered insulin receptor expression and signaling are extensively investigated in metabolic disease and insulin resistance. Pathogenic variants in INSR can cause inherited insulin resistance syndromes, including Donohue syndrome, Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome, and type A insulin resistance syndrome. Insulin receptor signaling is also studied in cancer biology because metabolic and mitogenic pathways downstream of INSR can influence cell proliferation, survival, and nutrient utilization. Alternative splicing produces receptor isoforms that differ in their ligand-binding and signaling properties.
Clone GGA-9 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody generated against a synthetic peptide specific to human INSR. This INSR Monoclonal Antibody provides a defined reagent for investigating insulin receptor expression and complements antibodies directed toward specific regions or subunits of the receptor. NSJ Bioreagents supplies clone GGA-9 for research use only.
An Insulin Receptor Antibody can be used to investigate INSR expression and its relationship to insulin signaling, glucose homeostasis, metabolic regulation, insulin resistance, receptor tyrosine kinase signaling, and disease biology.
