Insulin receptors are regions outside of a cell that allow the cell to bind with the insulin in the bloodstream. The main physiological role of insulin receptors is metabolic regulation.   
Insulin receptors are regions outside of a cell that allow the cell to bind with the insulin in the bloodstream. The main physiological role of insulin receptors is metabolic regulation.   


In order for the receptors to properly interact with Insulin, Insulin must undergo a conformational change. This conformational change is when the C- terminal of the B chain must disengage from the hormone's core. Now the Insulin can properly bind to the appropriate receptor.
