The Insulin Receptor (gene name INSR, designated CD220) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein in the Insulin/IGF Receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases that share structural similarity and overlapping intracellular signaling events (1-3). The 1370 amino acid (aa) human Insulin R preproprotein (A isoform) is processed by proteolysis to remove the signal peptide and produce an extracellular alpha portion (aa 28-750), and an extracellular/transmembrane/cytoplasmic beta subunit (aa 751-1370) (4). The extracellular domain (ECD) contains two homologous globular domains separated by a cysteine-rich domain and followed by three fibronectin type III domains. The intracellular region contains insulin-receptor substrate (IRS) docking sites, the kinase domain, and a phosphotyrosine-containing linker region. The human Insulin R ECD shares 96% aa sequence identity with mouse, rat, equine and canine Insulin R. Two alternatively spliced Insulin R isoforms differ by the absence
(IR-A) or presence (IR-B) of 12 aa between aa 743-744 in the alpha subunit (4). IR-A expression is highest in fetal tissues and cancer cells, while IR-B is concentrated in adult differentiated cells (2-5). IR-A and IR-B may homodimerize, or heterodimerize with the IGF-I receptor (1, 3, 4). All receptor combinations bind insulin, IGF-I or IGF-II, but with differing affinities; for example, IR-A has considerably higher affinity for IGF-II as compared to IR-B (2-5). This system allows fine tuning of signaling pathways according to the concentrations of insulin, IGF-I and IGF-II, and expression of receptor subunits on the cell surface (2, 3). Insulin R signaling regulates glucose uptake and metabolism, but also contributes to cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis (2, 3, 5, 6). Mutations in the Insulin R gene have been linked severe insulin resistance (type A and Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome) that may include type II diabetes mellitus and, rarely, leprechaunism (Donohue syndrome) that also includes growth delays and endocrine system abnormalities (1, 7). The R&D Systems human Insulin R consists of the entire ECD of the IR-A isoform.
