insulin signaling pathway
The insulin signaling pathway refers to a series of molecular events that occur within cells in response to insulin, a hormone that regulates glucose metabolism. It involves the binding of insulin to its receptor on the cell surface, initiating a cascade of biochemical reactions that ultimately lead to various effects like increased glucose uptake and storage, protein synthesis, and regulation of metabolism.
