2. The secretion of peptide hormones or neurotransmitters depends on important interactions with the cytoskeleton. The following experiments investigated the role of the cytoskeleton and associated motor proteins in insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. a. An inactivating mutation in the gene encoding kinesin-1 in pancreatic beta cells was created in mice. Here is the effect on insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis: Based on our lectures, what might be the role of Kinesin-1 in insulin secretion?

2) The pancreas secretes a type of peptide hormone insulin. Which of the following mechanisms helps secretion of insulin from the pancreatic cell? A) active transport B) facilitated diffusion C) diffusion D) endocytosis E) exocytosis
Sri K.
The protein hormone insulin which is secreted from pancreatic beta cells undergoes folding into secondary and tertiary structures within the nucleus. b) after processing in the Golgi apparatus in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum: in the cytosol: after secretion by exocytosis.

Q5. The insulin receptor: a. Consists of 2 transmembrane insulin-binding subunits with tyrosine kinase activity b. Consists of 2 extracellular insulin-binding α subunits and 2 transmembrane β subunits with tyrosine kinase activity c. Is tyrosine phosphorylated by IRS-1 upon insulin binding d. Requires tyrosine phosphorylation to bind insulin e. Phosphorylates insulin on tyrosine residues upon binding
