when the insulin molecule hits the insulin receptor on the surface i believe it auto phosphorylates itself correct that then signals to insulin receptor substrate one irs one inside the cell so that sends a signal inside the cell which also leads to a phosphorylation which then signals pi3 kinase it up regulates pi3 kinase and that basically leads to a glute4 transporter which you can think of as like a big tube being shoved up to the surface of the cell across its membrane and that basically passively allows glucose in it is not an active transporter correct
