spinqualitylabelsall models Structure of human insulin receptor tyrosine kinase catalytic domain complex with insulin receptor substrate 2 peptide (cyan), Mg+2 ion (green) and ATP (PDB entry 3bu5) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Function Insulin receptor (IR) is a transmembrane receptor activated by insulin, insulin-like growth factor I and II[1]. The IR is a dimer where each monomer contains 8 distinct domains. The β-chain contains a tyrosine kinase catalytic domain (TK). For more details see Student Projects for UMass Chemistry 423 Spring 2012-1. Disease IR is important for the regulation of glucose homeostasis and its malfunction can cause diabetics and cancer. IR is overexpressed in cancer[2]. Structural highlights (PDB entry 3bu5). TK domain of IR contains an activation loop and a catalytic loop and . The bound IR substrate 2 peptide tyrosine is the phosphorylated residue[3]. . Water molecules shown as red spheres. See also Insulin Receptor - kinase domain (hebrew) and Insulin receptor (Hebrew).
