Enzyme-Linked Membrane Receptors and Insulin Signaling, Study notes of Biochemistry

An overview of enzyme-linked membrane receptors, focusing on receptor tyrosine kinases and their role in insulin signaling. It explains how ligands bind to extracellular domains, activating intracellular catalytic domains, and initiating phosphorylation cascades. The document details the process of receptor autophosphorylation, the interaction of phosphorylated irs with protein bas, and the subsequent activation of transcription factors. It also covers the importance of glucose transporters and the implications of insulin resistance in diabetes. Useful for understanding the molecular mechanisms of cell signaling and the role of insulin in glucose metabolism. (410 characters)
