Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Pleckstrin homology domain leucine-rich repeat protein phosphatases (PHLPPs), originally identified as Akt kinase hydrophobic motif specific phosphatases, have subsequently been shown to regulate several molecules recurring within the insulin signaling pathway. This observation suggests that PHLPP phosphatases may have a clinically relevant role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance-related...
