Alternate names for IRS2 include IRS-2 or HEK293 products IRS2. It plays a role in transducing signals from the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase to downstream effectors. IRS2 has a molecular mass of approximately 180 kDa. Expression of IRS2 occurs in many tissues with significant presence in liver and skeletal muscle indicating its broad physiological role.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nIRS2 acts in signal transduction and is a part of the insulin and insulin-like growth factor signaling pathways. IRS2 does not function alone but interacts with other molecules to propagate signals that regulate cellular processes. It is essential for glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism playing a critical role in maintaining energy balance within the organism. IRS2 also mediates other biological processes like cell growth and differentiation.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nWith regards to pathways IRS2 is involved in the insulin signaling and mTOR pathways. It serves as an important junction between metabolic and growth-promoting signals. Activation of IRS2 through insulin receptors leads to downstream signaling involving PI3K and Akt essential for mediating metabolic actions of insulin. It also interacts with mTOR a central protein in cell growth regulation. These pathways illustrate the integration of IRS2 in broader cellular responses to growth signals and energy availability.\u003cbr\u003e\nIRS2 is linked to conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity. Dysregulation of IRS2-mediated signaling can contribute to insulin resistance a characteristic feature of type 2 diabetes. In such disorders IRS2 signaling may be impaired or altered affecting its interaction with proteins like PI3K and Akt which are also implicated in these conditions. Furthermore chronic imbalance in IRS2 activity may contribute to obesity as it affects key metabolic pathways that regulate fat storage and energy expenditure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46860636192937,"sku":"ab221281","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab221281","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
