Video Summary:
Insulin receptors are receptors tyrosine kinase. Upon activation, first there will be cross phosphorylation of tyrosine residues. Then IRS protein is recruited and phosphorylated. There are two main pathways downstream of this. PI3K pathway that leads to changes in the metabolism of glucose and protein and MAPK pathway that increases gene expression and growth.
