Generic protein structure example

Insulin receptor substrate 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IRS4 gene.[1][2][3]

IRS4 encodes the insulin receptor substrate 4, a cytoplasmic protein that contains many potential tyrosine and serine/threonine phosphorylation sites. Tyrosine-phosphorylated IRS4 protein has been shown to associate with cytoplasmic signalling molecules that contain SH2 domains. The IRS4 protein is phosphorylated by the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase upon receptor stimulation.[3]

Interactions

IRS4 has been shown to interact with CRK[4][5] and NISCH.[6]
