Abstract excerpt
An insulin-like signaling pathway regulates development and lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans. Genetic screens that identified many components of the C. elegans insulin pathway did not identify homologs of insulin receptor substrates or the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) adaptor/regulatory subunit, which are both required for signaling by mammalian insulin/insulin-like growth factor I pathways. The C. elegans...
