Enables several functions, including enzyme binding activity; insulin binding activity; and insulin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including neuron projection organization; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite membrane; external side of plasma membrane; and neuronal cell body membrane. Used to study chronic kidney disease; diabetic neuropathy; liver disease (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Biomarker of several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; diabetes mellitus (multiple); hepatic encephalopathy; liver disease (multiple); and short bowel syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Donohue syndrome; glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human INSR (insulin receptor).
