insulin receptor binding
Insulin receptor binding refers to the process where insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas, attaches and interacts with specific receptors on the surface of cells. This binding activates a series of signaling pathways inside the cell, leading to various metabolic and growth responses that regulate glucose uptake, energy storage, and cell growth.
