IGF1R is a transmembrane protein receptor. It is composed of two alpha subunits and two tyrosine beta subunits. Both alpha subunits are cysteine-rich region and therefore linked with a disulfide bond. Ligand-binding on alpha subunit induces activation of beta subunit by autophosphorylation. It further leads to activation of the Akt and mTor pathways inside the cell. | IGF1R is a transmembrane protein receptor. It is composed of two alpha subunits and two tyrosine beta subunits.
