The insulin receptor kinase

Biochimie, 1985
The insulin receptor appears as a tetrameric glycoprotein consisting of two Mr 130,000 subunits (alpha), and two Mr 95,000 subunits (beta) in a disulfide-linked complex. Insulin bound to its specific cell surface receptors in its target cells leads to a complex array of molecular events resulting in insulin effects.

Autoantibodies to insulin receptors

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 1981
In summary, these studies using antibodies to the insulin receptor have provided some new insights into the structure of the insulin receptor and the action of insulin itself. They suggest that most of insulin's actions are mediated through a common pathway and these can be initiated by interaction of ligands other than insulin with the insulin ...

daf-2, an insulin receptor-like gene that regulates longevity and diapause in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Science, 1997
A C. elegans neurosecretory signaling system regulates whether animals enter the reproductive life cycle or arrest development at the long-lived dauer diapause stage.

Insulin Receptors in Brain

1983
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on insulin receptors in brain. It has been demonstrated by two different means that insulin from blood can reach the cerebrospinal fluid and then, presumably, the central nervous system tissue. While the access of circulating insulin is quite limited by the presence of the blood–brain barrier, the non-barrier ...

The Immunology of the Insulin Receptor

Immunological Communications, 1976
We have detected and characterized anti-insulin-receptor autoantibodies which circulate in several patients with insulin resistance diabetes. These antibodies are predominantly IgG and are polyclonal. They inhibit insulin binding to its receptor on a variety of tissues from widely separated species. Antibodies obtained from different patients appear to

Insulin Receptor and Insulin Action [PDF]

open access: possible, 1990
Insulin generates a complex assay of biological responses in a variety of cell systems. The first step in insulin action is binding of the hormone to its specific cell surface receptor. This receptor is an oligomer consisting of two α-subunits with Mr 130 kDa, and twos-subunits with Mr 95 kDa; the different subunits are linked together by disulfide ...

Insulin Receptor Antibodies and Insulin Resistance

Southern Medical Journal, 1999
The presence of insulin receptor antibodies is a rare cause of insulin resistance. Patients usually have a combination of hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, acanthosis nigricans, and autoimmune features. We report a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and severe insulin resistance due to insulin receptor antibodies.

Insulin resistance: Review of the underlying molecular mechanisms

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2018
Most human cells utilize glucose as the primary substrate, cellular uptake requiring insulin. Insulin signaling is therefore critical for these tissues.

The Insulin Receptor Family

1994
The insulin receptor family in mammals includes the receptors for insulin, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), and the insulin receptor-related receptor (IRR), a receptor whose sequence is homologous to the sequences of the other two receptors but whose ligand is unknown (Fig. 1) (1).
