Abstract excerpt
We have studied the structure and function of the insulin receptor in a patient (PK) with severe insulin resistance and Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome. Insulin binding to cultured fibroblasts from PK was almost not detectable and insulin-induced insulin receptor autophosphorylation and glucose uptake was abolished. The structure of the receptor gene was analysed by sequencing amplified products of the 22 exons with...
