Abstract excerpt
The mechanism by which insulin decreases protein degradation is unknown. We examined insulin binding and degradation (125I[A14]insulin) and protein degradation (3H-leucine labeling) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with wild-type (WI) and mutant human insulin receptors. The deltaExon-16 mutant is missing the juxtamembrane domain that mediates endocytosis. The delta343 mutant receptor lacks the...
