Exon

Exons are protein-coding regions that mu.st be joined by removing introns, die noncoding intervening. sequences. 

The proce.ss of intron removal and exon Joining is called splicing.

The insulin-binding domain of the INSR is located within a cystein-rich region of the a-subunits. Alternative splicing of exon 11 generates two isoforms of the a-subunit which differ in their C-terminus and in their tissue distribution (type A leukocytes type B liver type A and B skeletal muscle and fat). The isoforms differ in their affinity to insulin (A > B), but then-relevance for normal and impaired insulin action is not entirely clear [1,2].
