3 unusual facts about Insulin signal transduction pathway and regulation of blood glucose


Insulin signal transduction pathway and regulation of blood glucose

Insulin secretion mechanism is a common example of Signal transduction pathway mechanism.

The closure of the Potassium channels causes Depolarization of the cell membrane causing the cell membrane to stretch which causes the voltage-gated Calcium channel on the membrane to open causing an influx of Ca2+ ions.

Signal transduction is a mechanism in which the cell responds to a signal from the environment by activating several proteins and enzymes that will give a response to the signal.
