Abstract excerpt
Insulin receptor substrates (IRSs) play essential roles in signal transduction of insulin and insulin-like growth factors. Previously, we showed that IRS-3 is localized to the nucleus as well as the cytosol, while IRS-1 and 2 are mainly localized to the cytoplasm. In the present study, we found that importin beta directly interacts with IRS-3 and is able to mediate nuclear transport of IRS-3. Importin beta...
