HTC rat hepatoma cells were transfected with human insulin receptor cDNA to a level of 40,000 receptors/cell. In these cells, as well as in nontransfected cells, insulin stimulated the uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid. Two monoclonal antibodies directed against the human insulin receptor alpha subunit, like insulin, stimulated amino acid uptake in transfected HTC cells, but not in nontransfected HTC cells. The antibodies, in contrast to insulin, failed to stimulate insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity, both in intact transfected cells and in cell free extracts prepared from them. These data suggest, therefore, that activation of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase may not be an obligatory step in all of the transmembrane signaling mechanisms of the insulin receptor.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D011972 Receptor, Insulin A cell surface receptor for INSULIN. It comprises a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits which are derived from cleavage of a single precursor protein. The receptor contains an intrinsic TYROSINE KINASE domain that is located within the beta subunit. Activation of the receptor by INSULIN results in numerous metabolic changes including increased uptake of GLUCOSE into the liver, muscle, and ADIPOSE TISSUE.
