Abstract excerpt
Activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase represents an important mechanism in hormonal regulation. To clarify the role of MAP kinase activation in insulin action, we compared the activation of the enzyme in Rat-1 cells transfected with wild-type (Hirc) and mutant insulin receptors in which the 2 carboxyl-terminal tyrosines were substituted with phenylalanine (Y/F2). Expression of the Y/F2 mutant...
