Abstract excerpt
The human insulin receptor gene is expressed in two variant isoforms which differ by the absence (HIR-A) or presence (HIR-B) of 12 amino acids in the COOH-terminus of the extracellular alpha-subunit as a consequence of alternative splicing of exon 11. Expression of the two variant isoforms is regulated in a tissue-specific manner. In this study, we have measured the levels of the two receptor variants in isolated...
