Insulin receptor substrate

Insulin receptor substrate (IRS) is an important ligand in the insulin response of human cells.

IRS-1, for example, is an IRS protein that contains a phosphotyrosine binding-domain (PTB-domain). In addition, the insulin receptor contains a NPXY motif. The PTB-domain binds the NPXY sequence. Thus, the insulin receptor binds IRS.

Genes

IRS1 (see also Insulin receptor substrate 1)
IRS2 (see also Insulin receptor substrate 2)
IRS3P - a pseudogene
IRS4

gollark: Otherwise you may as well just use the actual Krist API.

gollark: This is really only useful if you want to actually resolve krist domains for HTTPoidal purposes or something.

gollark: You could stick them in the A record in some simple format (maybe the metadata one).

gollark: And probably AAAA/TXT/etc support.
