The insulin receptor
is expressed as two variably spliced isoforms that differ by the
absence (isoform A) or presence (isoform B) of a 12-amino acid sequence
encoded by exon 11 at the carboxy terminus of the
-subunit.
Coexpression of the A isoform and pp120, a substrate of the insulin
receptor tyrosine kinase, in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts increased receptor
A-mediated insulin endocytosis and degradation by two- to threefold
compared with cells expressing receptors alone. Because B is the
predominant isoform in the liver and binds insulin with lower affinity
than A, we have examined the effect of pp120 on receptor B-mediated
endocytosis. In contrast to isoform A, the effect of pp120 on isoform
B-mediated insulin internalization and degradation in stably
transfected NIH 3T3 cells was minimal.
