The Ser/Thr phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS) is one key mechanism to stimulate and/or attenuate insulin signal transduction. Using a phospho-specific polyclonal antibody directed against phosphorylated Ser(318) of IRS-1, we found a rapid and transient insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Ser(318) in human and rodent skeletal muscle cell models and in muscle tissue of insul...
