Chromium

Question 1

How does chromate interact with insulin

4 steps

Answer 1

Transferrin delivers chromium to receptors

Chromium is released inside the cell

4 chromium atoms form with chromudulin to make holochromodulin

Holochromodulin binds to the Beta sub unit of the insulin receptor to potentiate insulin action

Question 2

2 characteristics of chromium

Answer 2

Increase insulin action and sensitivity

Question 3

Chromudulin binds to the beta subunit of the insulin receptor and stimulates

Answer 3

Tyrosine kinase activity

Question 4

Chromate may inhibit

Answer 4

Activity of phosphotyrosine phosphatase to prolong insulin signaling

Question 5

Chromium is associated with what hormone

Answer 5

Insulin
