Abstract excerpt
Based on recent studies showing that PLCgamma associates to insulin receptor, we investigated its role in insulin stimulation of glucose transport in brown adipocytes. Insulin stimulation induced rapid PLCgamma association to phosphorylated insulin receptor, and activation of PLCgamma, as assessed by the mobilization of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores and by the production of the second messenger DAG. Both...
