Abstract excerpt
Recently, a mutation substituting Leu for Ser323 in the alpha-subunit of the human insulin receptor has been identified in an insulin-resistant patient. The Leu323 mutation leads to a severe impairment in insulin binding without significantly altering the processing or cell surface expression of the receptor. In order to study how alpha beta half-receptors interact to form the insulin-binding site, we...
