"All known IRS proteins contain multiple YXXM motifs that upon phosphorylation by activated insulin re- ceptors Tyr(612) and Tyr(632) in human insulin receptor substrate-1 are important for full activation of insulin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity and translocation of GLUT4 in adipose cells"
"Therefore, during insulin stimulation irs-1 undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation, and a portion of tyrosine phosphorylated irs-1 associated with the insulin receptor. The insulin receptor substrate-1 (irs-1) is rapidly phosphorylated on several tyrosine residues by the activated insulin receptor. Insulin signals are mediated through tyrosine phosphorylation of specific proteins such as insulin receptor substrate 1 (irs-1) and shc by the activated insulin receptor (ir)."
