In the present study, we attempted to determine the importance of a 23-amino-acid sequence within the carboxyl terminus of the human insulin receptor (IR) molecule in modulating insulin action in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Stable expression of a minigene encoding the receptor fragment led to an in

Insulin has diverse effects on cells, including stimulation of glucose transport, gene expression, and alterations of cell morphology. The hormone mediates these effects by activation of signaling pathways which utilize, 1) adaptor molecules such as the insulin receptor substrates (IRS), the Src and
Acromelic acid, a naturally occurring kainoid, isolated from the mushroom Clitocybe acromelalga, is a weak displacer of [3H]L-glutamate binding to cockroach (feriplaneta americana) nerve cord membranes. Acromelic acid (1 mM) displaces -60% of specifically bound [3H]L-glutarnate. When applied by bath
Previously, we reported that insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (ISGU) can be inhibited by endothelin (ET-1). However, the mechanism by which ET-1 impairs ISGU in adipocytes remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of ET-1 on insulin action in rat adipocytes in order to elucidate the mole
Insulin receptors differing structurally from those in other tissues have been demonstrated in brain from many species. Subtle differences in binding properties have been reported between insulin receptors in brain and other tissues, including differences in affinity of pig brain receptors for human
