Insulin protein structure is different among different species of animals. However, essentially it is a protein chain that is similar in many ways among animals.

A recent study identified a non-insulin-related protein that can activate the human insulin receptor, which could lead to the development of an insulin-mimicking oral pill and replace the need for ...

Australian scientists revealed the molecular structure of a hitherto unknown region of the insulin receptor. This could pave the way for new treatment for diabetes.

Walter and Eliza Hall Institute scientists have determined the structure of a previously unseen part of the insulin receptor, making possible new treatments for diabetes.

University of Utah researchers have found that the structure of an insulin molecule produced by predatory cone snails may be an improvement over current fast-acting therapeutic insulin.

Tweaking the structure of insulin by swapping one atom appears to make it available to the organism more rapidly, without altering its effectiveness.

Walter and Eliza Hall Institute scientists have determined the structure of a previously unseen part of the insulin receptor, making possible new treatments for diabetes.

The cloning of the complementary DNAs and genes for the insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) receptors, as well as tertiary-structure predictions, have provided valuable insights into ...

Insulin is a fragile molecule that doesn’t survive the journey through the stomach to the intestines, where it can be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Scientists have determined the structure of a previously unseen part of the insulin receptor, making possible new treatments for diabetes.
