1. Consumption of food
2. Increase in blood
glucose level
INSULIN, MECHANISM OF ACTION
3. Glucose act as stimulant
for insulin release from
pancreas
4. Insulin will bind to the insulin receptors on the alpha subunit of the transmembrane
receptor located on effector cell.
5. Tyrosine kinase activity at the beta
subunit stimulated upon binding of
the insulin.
6. Beta subunit is phosphorylated
and signal transduction occurs
7. Autophosphorylation and biologic
effect occurs such as the glocose
molecule moves from blood vessel
into the cell.
8. Blood sugar level return
to normal
