Abstract excerpt
IR and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) share high degree of sequence and structural similarity that hinders the development of anticancer drugs targeting IGF1R, which is dysregulated in many cancers. Although IR and IGF1R mediate their activities through similar signalling pathways, yet they show different physiological effects. The exact molecular mechanism(s) how IR and IGF1R exert their distinct...
