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.

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.

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. The major part of the insulin ...

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 ...

The insulin molecule then has to bind to a partner molecule – known as the insulin receptor – that sits on the surface of cells. This binding allows signals from the insulin to pass into the cell.

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.

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.
