Plasma membrane events associated with the meiotic divisions in the amphibian oocyte: insights into the evolution of insulin transduction systems and cell signaling

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Insulin and its plasma membrane receptor constitute an ancient response system critical to cell growth and differentiation. Studies using intact <it>Rana pipiens</it> oocytes have shown that insulin can act at receptors o...
