The insulin receptor substrate (IRSp53) (also: brain-specific angiogenesis-inhibitor 1-associated protein 2 (BAP2) , gene name: BAIAP2 ) is a structural protein in vertebrates . As a cytoskeletal adapter , it binds to membrane-bound small G proteins and cytoplasmic effector proteins at the same time . His presence is necessary in the reorganization and regulation of the actin - cytoskeleton as well as the growth of neurites and filopodia .

By binding the IRS to a phosphorus tyrosine domain of the activated insulin receptor and phosphorylation of the IRS by the kinase activity of the receptor, other signal transduction molecules bind to the IRS. The most important additional signal transduction molecule for the action of insulin is the PI3 kinase .
