NCIt definition : Insulin receptor substrate 2 (1338 aa, 137 kDa) is encoded by the human IRS2 gene.
This protein is involved in insulin-dependent signal transduction.;
NCIt note : Tyrosine-phosphorylated IRS2 protein has been shown to associate with cytoplasmic
signalling molecules that contain SH2 domains. The IRS2 protein is phosphorylated
by the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase upon receptor stimulation, as well as by an
interleukin-4 receptor (IL4R) -associated kinase in response to IL4 treatment. (LocusLink);
