Co-Transcriptional Splicing and Functional Role of PKCβ in Insulin-Sensitive L6 Skeletal Muscle Cells and 3T3-L1 Adipocytes

PKC βII is alternatively spliced during acute insulin stimulation in L6 skeletal muscle cells. This PKC βII isoform is critical in propagating GLUT4 translocation. PKC β protein and promoter dysfunction correlate with human insulin resistance. TZD treatment ameliorates whole-body insulin-resistance....
