Cloning and Sequencing of the Complete cDNA Encoding the Human Insulin Receptor Related Receptor

Abstract: The insulin receptor related receptor (IRR) is a heterotetrameric transmembrane receptor with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. The IRR shares large homology with the insulin and the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) receptor with regard to amino acid sequence and protein structure. So far, only a partial human sequence containing the complete 3' end has been reported, although the full-length human IRR cDNA had been used for transfection studies and functional analysis of the receptor. We have isolated a… Show more

“…Moreover, down-regulation of IGF1R function in cancerous cells can promote apoptosis and inhibit transformation [Bahr and Groner, 2004], making IGF1R a promising target for the treatment of cancer [Baserga, 2005]. Mammals possess a third receptor of the Ins receptor family, the insulin receptor-related receptor, the function of which remains to be discovered [Shier and Watt, 1989; Hanze et al, 1999]. The human insulin receptor-related receptor (INSRR; OMIM 147671) shares 51% identity with IGF1R and 49% identity with INSR.…”

“…They are highly homologous in terms of amino acid sequence and structure and are in the IR family [2,5,7,8]. Almost certainly, these receptors form chimeric receptor hybrids of IGF-IR (αIRβIR,αIG FIRβIGFIR), IR-IRR (αIRβIR,αIRRβIRR) and IGF-IR-IRR (αIGFIRβIGFIR,αIRRβIRR) tetramers that depend on specific expression levels for each receptor type [9].…”
