Abstract excerpt
Insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS-2) is a substrate of the insulin receptor and mediates the action of the insulin. Disruption of the IRS-2 gene in mice results in peripheral insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. It is therefore possible that defects in the IRS-2 gene contribute to...
