MeSH definition : 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.;
