Abstract excerpt
The extracellular portion of the insulin receptor (IR) beta-subunit has four cysteine and four asparagine residues which are potentially involved in disulphide bond formation between the alpha- and beta-subunits and N-linked glycosylation respectively. However, the function of this portion is not fully understood. In order to investigate the role of the extracellular domain of beta-subunit, we created a deletion...
