Abstract excerpt
Certain syndromes of extreme insulin resistance are the result of negative-dominant mutations of the insulin receptor. The insulin-receptor heterotetramer appears to be the minimal functional unit for insulin signal transduction probably due to a requirement for intersubunit interactions. The obs...
