Abstract excerpt
The glycogen-associated regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1G) plays a major role in insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis and thus the regulation of nonoxidative glucose disposal in skeletal muscle. In a general population of Caucasians a polymorphism at codon 905 of PP-1G from an aspartate to tyrosine has been reported to be associated with insulin resistance and hypersecretion. In this report...
