## Abstract **Scope**: Insulin resistance, a condition associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, results from the interaction of environmental and genetic factors. The aim of this study was to explore the influence of the G972R polymorphism at the insulin receptor substrate 1 gene on insulin sensit

Abstract
The insulin receptor substrate‐1 (IRS‐1) and c‐met, the receptor for the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) co‐immuno‐precipitate from lysates treated with the respective antibodies. The interaction between IRS‐1 and c‐met requires a tyrosyl phosphorylated IRS‐1 and results in reciprocal down‐regulation. IRS‐1 inhibits cell motility, while the activated c‐met promotes it. These and other results suggest an explanation for reports in the literature indicating that c‐met levels are high and IRS‐1 levels are low in human cancer metastases. J. Cell.
