Questions and Answers

What is the function of Tyrosine Kinase Receptors (RTK) in a dimeric fashion?

  • The receptors function separately, with no interaction between them
  • They require three receptors to initiate a signal when binding to the ligand
  • They function in pairs, with a signal binding to one receptor and bringing the other receptor to form a complex (correct)
  • They function independently, each receptor initiating its own signal when bound to a ligand
  • What is the characteristic of receptors with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity?

  • They have their own intrinsic kinase activity when bound to a ligand (correct)
  • They lack the ability to recruit a tyrosine kinase when bound to a ligand
  • Their activity does not change when bound to a ligand
  • They require multiple receptors to activate tyrosine kinase activity
  • What is the structure of the insulin receptor, which is the most studied receptor with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity?

  • Monomeric structure with only one α and one β chain
  • Dimeric structure with 2 α and 2 β chains held together by hydrogen bonds
  • Homo-tetrameric structure with 2 α and 2 β chains held together by S-S bonds
  • Hetero-tetrameric structure with 2 α and 2 β chains held together by disulfide bonds (correct)
  • What is the length of the β subunit of the insulin receptor, which consists of ectodomain, transmembrane domain, and cytoplasmic domain?
