Gene information for INSR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3643
Official gene symbolINSR
Full nameinsulin receptor
Aliases,CD220,HHF5,
Gene summaryAfter removal of the precursor signal peptide, the insulin receptor precursor is post-translationally cleaved into two chains (alpha and beta) that are covalently linked. Binding of insulin to the insulin receptor (INSR) stimulates glucose uptake. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
