Signal transduction through the insulin receptor is regulated by autophosphorylation of ______________ residues.
A) aspartate
B) histidine
C) serine
D) threonine
E) tyrosine

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues in the insulin receptor is critical for signal transduction. This allows for the recruitment of downstream signaling molecules, leading to various cellular responses such as glucose uptake and protein synthesis.
