Insulin-induced tyrosine-phosphorylation in intact isolated rat adipocytes was studied using immunoblotting method with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. Insulin-stimulated adipocytes were solubilized with Triton X-100. The lysate was incubated with wheat germ agglutinin, then with hydroxylapatite. Insulin stimulated tyrosinephosphorylation of a 95 KDa protein which adsorbs to wheat germ agglutinin and appears to be the β-subunit of the insulin receptor. Among the proteins adsorbed to hydroxylapatite, tyrosine-phosphorylation of 170 KDa and 60 KDa proteins was stimulated. 170 KDa was also stimulated by polyclonal anti-insulin receptor antibodies B-10 Ig G, IGF-I and H2O2 . The detection of these proteins in rat adipocytes may lead to the elucidation of a common signal transduction pathway in insulin-responsive cells.

    Different from liver, tyrosine phosphorylation of Irs2 and p85 associated with Irs2 remained unchanged in Irs1-deficient adipocytes. On the other hand, compensatory phosphorylation of Irs3, which is specifically expressed in the adipose tissue, was observed (Momomura et al., 1988). These data suggest that insulin signaling in adipocytes is predominantly transmitted through Irs1 and Irs3.
