Abstract excerpt
Under the activation of insulin receptors, glucose transporter 4 (Glut4) translocation is regulated by two signal transduction pathways. These pathways are the PI 3-kinase-dependent pathway and the CAP/TC10 pathway. The adaptor protein Rap guanine exchange factor 1 (RAPGEF1) also known as C3G is a component of the CAP/TC10 pathway. Defects in the RAPGEF1 protein may contribute to insulin resistance and type 2...
