Irs1 - insulin receptor substrate 1

Enables several functions, including SH2 domain binding activity; protein kinase binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to peptide hormone stimulus; regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of peptide hormone secretion. Located in cytosol; intracellular membrane-bounded organelle; and plasma membrane. Part of insulin receptor complex. Used to study end stage renal disease; obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Biomarker of Alzheimer's disease; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; and osteoporosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; coronary artery disease; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human IRS1 (insulin receptor substrate 1).
