Abstract excerpt
We have studied the structure and the function of a truncated human insulin receptor in which 113 amino acids (aa 1231-1343) at the C-terminus of the beta-subunit were deleted. In this study, wild-type and truncated insulin receptors were expressed by stable transfection in NIH-3T3 cells and CHO cells. The mutation impairs post-translational processing of the insulin receptor; proteolytic cleavage is retarded,...
