Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of the insulin receptor cause insulin resistance in a dominant fashion. It has been proposed that formation of hybrid dimers between normal and mutant receptors may explain the dominant negative effect of these mutations. To investigate this mechanism, we expressed two types of human insulin receptors in NIH-3T3 cells; wild type and the tyrosine kinase-deficient Ile1153...
