Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The insulin receptor is a type of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), which means that it has a tyrosine kinase domain (TK) that becomes activated and phosphorylated upon binding with insulin. The phosphorylation of this domain then triggers downstream signaling pathways that lead to various cellular responses, such as glucose uptake and metabolism. Therefore, the correct answer is option C) TK.
