Insulin binding to isolated rat hepatocytes was studied during prenatal and postnatal life. Results show that in hepatocytes isolated from prenatal, postnatal and adult rat there is a constant increase in the number of insulin binding sites per cell, whereas the affinity of plasma membrane receptors for the hormonal ligand remains unaltered from prenatal to adult hepatocytes. Autoradiographic studies indicate a greater internalization of hormone during prenatal life and, taking into account the increase of cell size, suggest an unchanged surface density of receptor sites before and after birth.

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.
