Abstract excerpt
We previously reported on patients with severe insulin resistance due to unprocessed insulin proreceptors. A structural change of the cleavage site from Arg-Lys-Arg-Arg to Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser due to G----T point mutation appeared to be the cause for failure to process the proreceptors. To determine whether the mutation of insulin proreceptors at the cleavage site was responsible for unprocessed insulin receptors and...
