The insulin receptor (IR) is instrumental in regulation of glucose homeostasis. It is estimated that there are about 200,000 IR proteins on cell surfaces. Insulin has a high affinity for its receptor, with a reported dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.5 nM (nM = 10^-9 M). Blood insulin levels under fasting conditions are typically around 35 pmol/L (pico = 10^-12). All numbers are reported for standard temperatures of 25 °C and a standard pressure of 1 bar.
