OverviewNCBI Gene

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.. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against IRS4 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads IRS4 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against IRS4 could matter depends on whether native IRS4 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

IRS4 is annotated at the cell surface, where native IRS4 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label IRS4 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
