IRS2 (insulin receptor substrate 2)
2016-05-01 Joao Agostinho Machado-Neto, PhD , Paula de Melo Campos  , Fabiola Traina   AffiliationAbstract
Insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS2) belongs to the insulin receptor substrate protein family and was initially discovered as an alternative route for signaling mediated by the insulin receptor. Currently, IRS2 has been well-established to mediate mitogenic and antiapoptotic signaling from several important cellular receptors. In the last years, many studies have indicated that IRS2 participates in the regulation of important biological processes involved in cancer phenotype, including cell proliferation, clonogenicity, metabolism and survival. The present review contains data on IRS2 DNA\/RNA, protein encoded and function.
