Insulin-modulated Akt subcellular localization determines Akt isoform-specific signaling.

Abstract excerpt

The 3 Akt protein kinase isoforms have critical and distinct functions in the regulation of metabolism, cell growth, and apoptosis, yet the mechanisms by which their signaling specificity is achieved remain largely unclear. Here, we investigated potential mechanisms underlying Akt isoform functional specificity by using Akt2-specific regulation of glucose transport in insulin-stimulated adipocytes as a model...
