We have deduced the entire 1,370-amino-acid sequence of the human insulin receptor
precursor from a single complementary DNA clone. The precursor starts with a 27-amino-
acid signal sequence, followed by the receptor α-subunit, a precursor processing enzyme
cleavage site, then the β-subunit containing a single 23-amino-acid transmembrane
sequence. There are sequence homologies to human epidermal growth factor receptor and
the members of the src family of oncogene products.
