Anti-phospho-INSR (Tyr1185) (Insulin Receptor, IR, CD220) (Azide free) (APC)

Binding of insulin to the insulin receptor (INSR) stimulates glucose uptake, thereby mediating the metabolic functions of insulin. Binding to insulin stimulates association of the receptor with downstream mediators including IRS1 and phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K). This protein can activate PI3K either directly by binding to the p85 regulatory subunit, or indirectly via IRS1. After removal of the precursor signal peptide, the insulin receptor precursor is post-translationally cleaved into two chains (alpha and beta) that are covalently linked. Applications: Suitable for use in FLISA and Dot Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C before opening. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. APC is light sensitive., , Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
