Abstract excerpt
Molecular scanning of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) revealed several amino acid substitutions. The most common IRS-1 variant, a Gly to Arg972 change, is more prevalent among type 2 diabetic patients. In this study we overexpressed wild-type and Arg972IRS-1 variant in L6 skeletal muscle cells and examined the functional consequences of this polymorphism on insulin metabolic signaling. L6 cells expressing...
