Abstract excerpt
In this study, fusion of the kinase domain of Akt2 to the cytosolic C terminus of exofacially-HA-tagged GLUT4 is used to investigate the activity, phosphorylation state and subcellular localization of Akt2 specifically targeted to the GLUT4-trafficking pathway in rat adipose cells. Fusion of wild-type (wt) Akt2, but not a kinase-dead (KD) mutant results in constitutive targeting of the HA-GLUT4 fusion protein to...
