Insulin Receptor Substrate Proteins MeSH Descriptor Data 2026


MeSH Heading
Insulin Receptor Substrate Proteins
Tree Number(s)
D12.644.360.024.301
D12.776.157.057.045
D12.776.476.024.382

Scope Note
A structurally-related group of signaling proteins that are phosphorylated by the INSULIN RECEPTOR PROTEIN-TYROSINE KINASE. The proteins share an N-terminal PLECKSTRIN HOMOLOGY DOMAIN, a phosphotyrosine-binding domain that interacts with the phosphorylated INSULIN RECEPTOR, and a C-terminal TYROSINE-rich domain. Upon tyrosine phosphorylation, insulin receptor substrate proteins interact with specific SH2 DOMAIN containing proteins that are involved in insulin receptor signaling.
