Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic initiation factor eIF2B is a guanine nucleotide exchange protein involved in regulation of translation initiation. Phosphorylation of the epsilon-subunit is thought to be important in insulin-mediated changes in eIF2B activity. However, elucidation of insulin's action has proven elusive, primarily because eIF2B epsilon is a substrate in vitro for at least three different protein kinases. In the present...
