Insulin Receptor

Insulin receptor (IR), a phylogenetically ancient tyrosine kinase receptor, is a large cell surface glycoprotein that concentrates insulin at the site of action and also initiates responses to insulin. The receptor is a disulfide-linked oligomer comprised of two alpha and two beta subunits. The insulin receptor exists in two isoforms, IR-A and IR-B, expressed in different relative abundance in the various organs and tissues. The two IR isoforms have similar binding affinity for insulin but different affinity for insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-2 and proinsulin, which are bound by IR-A but not IR-B.

The insulin receptor has a crucial role in controlling glucose homeostasis, regulating lipid, protein and carbohydrate metabolism, and modulating brain neurotransmitter levels. Insulin receptor dysfunction has been associated with many diseases, including diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

    Monosialoganglioside GM3 (bovine)
    Inhibitor
    Monosialoganglioside GM3 (bovine) is a monosialoganglioside and an inhibitor of VEGFR2 and Akt. At a concentration of 20 μM, Monosialoganglioside GM3 inhibits angiogenesis and reduces the proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by inhibiting VEGFR2 and Akt phosphorylation. Ganglioside GM3 also inhibits ferroptosis, providing protective effects during the formation of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Additionally, Monosialoganglioside GM3 (bovine) acts as an inhibitor of insulin signaling, inducing the dissociation of the insulin receptor (IR)-Caveolin-1 complex from lipid microdomains and causing insulin resistance in adipocytes. Monosialoganglioside GM3 (bovine) can be used in cancer and metabolic disease research.

Semaglutide sodium also regulates mitochondrial function and lipid metabolism (such as reducing de novo lipogenesis in the liver). Semaglutide sodium has activities such as lowering blood sugar, reducing weight, neuroprotection (such as improving motor function in Parkinson's disease models, reducing α-synuclein aggregation) and improving hepatic steatosis. Semaglutide sodium can be used for the study of neurodegenerative diseases and liver diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, Parkinson's disease, metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MASLD), and cancer.
