Insulin receptor pathway
- Tipo de proyecto: Scientific illustrationType of project:

This illustration shows how glucose enters cells via the insulin receptor pathway. This pathway is like the body’s communication system for managing glucose. When you eat, your blood sugar levels rise, and this is where insulin comes into play.
This hormone binds to its receptor, a protein located on the surface of cells. The receptor acts like an antenna that, upon detecting insulin, sends a signal inside the cell, activating a molecular cascade involving several proteins. The result of this activation is usually to facilitate the entry of glucose into cells.
The idea
Create a clear and harmonious illustration to explain the process of glucose entering cells through the translocation of activated GUT4, triggered by the binding of insulin to its receptor, aimed at a specialized audience.
The result
A clear and understandable illustration that shows the process in an easy-to-understand way. This resource is aimed at a specialized audience such as bioscience students, healthcare professionals, and educators, to facilitate understanding of the biochemical and physiological processes related to blood sugar regulation. It can also be useful for presentations or for publication in articles.
