Activation of the insulin receptor by insulin-like growth factor 2

Abstract Insulin receptor (IR) controls growth and metabolism. Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) has different binding properties on two IR isoforms, mimicking insulin’s function. However, the molecular mechanism underlying IGF2-induced IR activation remains unclear. Here, we present cryo-EM struc...
