Insulin is a peptide hormone secreted mainly by the pancreatic islets of Langerhans and plays an important role in glucose homeostasis, cell growth, survival, proliferation, and β-cell metabolism. Insulin signaling is essential for glucose metabolism, and insulin reduces insulin receptor (InsR) levels in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. However, the mechanisms regulating the reduction of InsR after insulin stimulation are still poorly understood.
