Target Full Name: Insulin receptor-related protein

Target Alias: INSRR; Insulin receptor-related protein precursor; IR-related receptor

Product Type Specific: Protein kinase pan-specific antibody

Antibody Code: NK273-1

Antibody Target Type: Pan-specific

Protein UniProt: P14616

Protein SigNET: P14616

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human IRR (INSRR) sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-01BDJ85

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: RGSLPTTDAEPDSSPTPRDC

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues R1269 to C1288; Pre-C-terminus

Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced by solid phase synthesis on a multipep peptide synthesizer and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis. This peptide was coupled to KLH prior to immunization into rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were subcutaneously injected with KLH-coupled immunizing peptide every 4 weeks for 4 months. The sera from these animals was applied onto an agarose column to which the immunogen peptide was thio-linked. Antibody was eluted from the column with 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. Subsequently, the antibody solution was neutralized to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris.

Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Antibody Concentration: 0.4 mg/ml

Storage Buffer: Phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, 0.05% Thimerasol

Storage Conditions: For long term storage, keep frozen at -40°C or lower. Stock solution can be kept at +4°C for more than 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Use: Western blotting | Antibody microarray

Antibody Dilution Recommended: 2 µg/ml for immunoblotting

Antibody Species Reactivity: Human

Antibody Positive Control: The observed molecular mass of the processed target protein on SDS-PAGE gels is reported to be around 120-130 kDa.

Scientific Background: IRR is a receptor protein-tyrosine kinase that is a member of the TK group of protein kinases in the InsR family. IRR is required for the appearance of male gonads and for male sexual differentiation. It can sense pH in the extracellular environment. When IRR is activated a signalling cascade is started which involves IRS1 and PKB/Akt1. A mutation that can inhibit IRR autophosphorylation is Y1145F with Y1146F. Expression of IRR mRNA is restricted to a few tissue types and has been detected in neuronal tissues as well as in neuroblastomas. As a result of its occurrence in neuroblastomas, it has speculated that IRR may be involved in tumorigenesis. RT-PCR and solution hybridization/RNAse protection assay have shown strong coupling of IRR mRNA in 18 tumour cell lines. IRR has also been linked with the development of glioblastoma multiforme and lung adenocarcinomas.
