Insulin-Responsive Transcription Factors [PDF]
The hormone insulin executes its function via binding and activating of the insulin receptor, a receptor tyrosine kinase that is mainly expressed in skeletal muscle, adipocytes, liver, pancreatic β-cells, and in some areas of the central nervous system ...

Rapid insulin-dependent endocytosis of the insulin receptor by caveolae in primary adipocytes. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:The insulin receptor is localized in caveolae and is dependent on caveolae or cholesterol for signaling in adipocytes. When stimulated with insulin, the receptor is internalized.

Mitochondrial respiratory chain is involved in insulin-stimulated hydrogen peroxide production and plays an integral role in insulin receptor autophosphorylation in neurons [PDF]
Background Accumulated evidence suggests that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generated in cells during insulin stimulation plays an integral role in insulin receptor signal transduction.

Systematic evaluation of the metabolic to mitogenic potency ratio for B10-substituted insulin analogues. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Insulin analogues comprising acidic amino acid substitutions at position B10 have previously been shown to display increased mitogenic potencies compared to human insulin and the underlying molecular mechanisms have been subject to much ...

Insulin receptor has tyrosine kinase activity toward Shc in rat liver [PDF]
Insulin induces tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc in cell cultures and in insulin-sensitive tissues of the intact rat. However, the ability of insulin receptor (IR) tyrosine kinase to phosphorylate Shc has not been previously demonstrated.

The novel functions of high-molecular-mass complexes containing insulin receptor substrates in mediation and modulation of insulin-like activities: Emerging concept of diverse function by IRS-associated proteins [PDF]
Insulin-like peptides, such as insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), induce a variety of bioactivities, such as growth, differentiation, survival, increased anabolism and decreased catabolism in many cell types and in vivo.

Insulin receptor signaling and glucagon-like peptide 1 effects on pancreatic beta cells [PDF]
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a potent gluco-incretin hormone, which plays a central role on pancreatic beta cell proliferation, survival and insulin secreting activity and whose analogs are used for treating hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes ...

Insulin sensitizes neural and vascular TRPV1 receptors in the trigeminovascular system
Background Clinical observations suggest that hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance can be associated with migraine headache. In the present study we examined the effect of insulin on transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptor-dependent ...
