Oncogenic Transformation by the Signaling Adaptor Proteins Insulin Receptor Substrate (IRS)-1 and IRS-2
15 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Insulin receptor substrates (IRSs) are adaptor proteins that link signaling from upstream activators to multiple downstream effectors to modulate normal growth, metabolism, survival, and differentiation. Recent cell culture studies have shown that IRSs can interact with, and are functionally required for, the transforming ability of many oncogenes. Consistent with this, IRSs are elevated and hyperactive in many...
