Abstract excerpt
The pathophysiology of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is characterized by insulin resistance and insulin deficiency. To search for genetic defects causing NIDDM, we have screened for mutations in the gene encoding insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), an intracellular protein that is phosphorylated by the insulin receptor and is thought to play an important role in mediating insulin action. The...
