insulin receptor
The insulin receptor is a protein located on the surface of certain cells in the body that binds to insulin, a hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. This receptor allows the cells to respond to insulin, triggering a series of signaling events inside the cell that help regulate glucose metabolism and other cellular functions.
