Characterizing the Role of a Novel F-actin Binding Protein in IRS1/PI3K Signaling and Glucose Uptake

Studies show that insulin induced activation and assembly of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS1) and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), within remodelled actin structures is critical for GLUT4 translocation to the cell surface in muscle cells. This study identifies the F-actin binding protein, n...
