insulin receptor autoantibodies
Insulin receptor autoantibodies are antibodies produced by the immune system that target and attack the insulin receptors on the surface of cells. These autoantibodies interfere with the normal function of insulin receptors, leading to impaired insulin signaling and potentially causing insulin resistance or dysfunction of glucose metabolism.
