The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is a 180 kDa protein with amino acid sequence of 1242 residues.
- It contains a single pleckstrin homology domain at the N-terminus and a PTB domain ca. 40 residues downstream of this, followed by a poorly conserved C-terminus tail.
- Together with IRS2, IRS3 and IRS4, it is homologous to the Drosophila protein chico, whose disruption extends the median lifespan of flies up to 48%.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Insulin receptor substrate 1 article was read about 6,100 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 68: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
How to get Insulin receptor substrate 1
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
