Human Insulin Receptor / INSR / CD220 Protein (short isoform, His Tag)

CD220,HHF5,Insulin Receptor

Catalog Number P11086-H08H
Organism Species Human
Host Human Cells
Synonyms CD220,HHF5,Insulin Receptor
Molecular Weight The secreted recombinant human INSR isoform short consists of 928 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 106 (83+23) kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of rhINSR is approximately 125-135 kDa & 40-45 kDa, corresponding to the α subunit and the ECD of β subunit respectively in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
predicted N His 28 & Ser 751
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the human INSR isoform short (NP_001073285.1) extracellular domain (Met 1-Lys 944) was expressed, fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
Bio-activity Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA . When 1 μg/ml of biotinylated human insulin is immobilized onto a streptavidin coated plate, it can bind human insulin receptor with a linear range of 0.3-40 μg/ml .
Research Area Cancer |Signal transduction |Cellular Senescence and Pathways in Aging |Growth Hormone/IGF-I Axis |IGF Family
Formulation Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4
1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
Background INSR (Insulin receptor), also known as CD220, is a transmembrane receptor that is activated by insulin. INSR belongs to theprotein kinase superfamily, and exists as a tetramer consisting of two alpha subunits and two beta subunits linked by disulfide bonds. The alpha and beta subunits are encoded by a single INSR gene, and the beta subunits pass through the cellular membrane. As the receptor for insulin with tyrosine-protein kinase activity, INSR associates with downstream mediators upon binding to insulin, including IRS1 (insulin receptor substrate 1) and phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K). IRS-1 binding and phosphorylation eventually leads to an increase in the high affinity glucose transporter (Glut4) molecules on the outer membrane of insulin-responsive tissues. INSR isoform long and isoform short are expressed in the peripheral nerve, kidney, liver, striated muscle, fibroblasts and skin, and is found as a hybrid receptor with IGF1R which also binds IGF1 in muscle, heart, kidney, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, hepatoma, fibrobasts, spleen and placenta. Defects in Insulin Receptor/INSR are the cause of Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome (Mendenhall syndrome), insulin resistance (Ins resistance), leprechaunism (Donohue syndrome), and familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia 5 (HHF5). It may also be associated with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
