Deep mutational scanning of the human insulin receptor ectodomain to inform precision therapy for insulin resistance
2024-09-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> The insulin receptor (INSR) entrains tissue growth and metabolism to nutritional conditions. Complete loss of function in humans leads to extreme insulin resistance and infantile mortality, while loss of 80-90% function permits longevity of decades. Even low-level activation of severely compromised receptors, for example by anti-receptor monoclonal antibodies, thus offers the potential for decisi...
