1. We have characterized the insulin receptor in primary culture quail oviduct cells and examined the hormonal regulation of its level. 2. We have also shown the recycling pathway of insulin receptors in the cultured cells using specific inhibitors (tunicamycin, chloroquine, monensin, and brefeldin A). 3. Our data suggest that glucocorticoids play important physiological roles in egg-white protein synthesis through increasing the number of insulin receptors and insulin through enhancing the transport of amino acids.
