Grb-ing hold of insulin signaling

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology volume 16, pages 803–804 (2009)Cite this article

It is just as important to shut off a signaling pathway as it is to turn it on. A new study on the tandem Ras-associating (RA) and pleckstrin-homology (PH) domains of Grb10 and Grb14 provides important insight into a multicomponent assembly for downregulating insulin receptor signaling.
