Insulin signaling

... insulin receptors that are found on the outside of many cells. Once the insulin binds to this receptor, it initiates a phosphorylating enzymatic cascade system in which the cell then can open the gated channels and let more than the normal passage of glucose into the cells. Storage enzymes are ...
