This report delves into the intricate interaction between insulin, a peptide hormone, and its receptor, a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor. The study focuses on the significance of this protein-ligand interaction in maintaining glucose homeostasis, glycogen synthesis, and fat storage. It explores the signaling pathways activated upon insulin binding, including the PI3K and MAPK pathways, and their roles in regulating blood glucose levels and cellular processes. The report also examines the molecular mechanisms of insulin receptor activation, highlighting the structural domains and residues involved in insulin binding and receptor activation. Furthermore, it discusses the implications of disrupted insulin signaling, such as in type 2 diabetes, and the physiological consequences of impaired glucose transport and metabolism. The report concludes by emphasizing the multifaceted roles of insulin in various tissues and the importance of this interaction for overall metabolic health.
