Due to the heterodimeric nature of the receptor, there are two types of insulin binding sites that are split into pairs in the alpha subunits: sites 1 and 1' and sites 2 and 2', for a total of 4 binding sites of insulin. Binding sites 1 and 1' have a greater surface area and are more easily accessible for the insulin to bond, resulting in a higher affinity for insulin binding. Binding sites 2 and 2' have less surface area and are located on the back of the beta sheet so their binding sites do not get filled as quickly. | Due to the heterodimeric nature of the receptor, there are two types of insulin binding sites that are split into pairs in the alpha subunits: sites 1 and 1' and sites 2 and 2', for a total of 4 binding sites of insulin.

This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes. | This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein.
