B)activation of adenylate cyclase
C)direct alteration of intracellular enzymes
D)phosphorylation of intracellular proteins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin binds to its receptor on the cell membrane, leading to the activation of tyrosine kinase activity and subsequent phosphorylation of intracellular proteins. This phosphorylation cascade ultimately allows for the translocation of GLUT4 transporters to the cell membrane, enabling glucose uptake by the cell.
