The beta subunit spans from the extracellular domain across the transmembrane region and into the intracellular portion of the insulin receptor. The beta subunit is composed of part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibronectin fibronectin] domain III-2 and all of Fibronectin domain III-3. The beta subunit's FnIII-3 domain has links through the transmembrane region into the intracellular part of the membrane.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_electron_cryomicroscopy Cryo-EM] results have displayed clear representations of FnIII-2 and FnIII-3 domains, but lack in their ability to model the receptor structure throughout the transmembrane region and intracellular region. Although, the FnIII-3 domain is connected to these regions, so it has been proposed that the T-shape conformation extends all the way to the tyrosine kinase domain region.
