Preferred Label : Insulin Signaling Pathway;
Alternative definition : BIOCARTA: The appropriate signaling through the insulin pathway is critical for the
regulation of glucose levels and the avoidance of diabetes. Insulin forms a complex
with the insulin receptor (IR) and b chains to form the active signaling complex.
Through recruitment of adaptor molecules and the activation of RAS, the activated
IR can cause transcriptional activation. (This definition may be outdated - see the
DesignNote.);
