Preferred Label : Insulin/Insulin Receptor Signaling Pathway;
NCIt related terms : Insulin signaling pathway;
Alternative definition : KEGG: Insulin binding to its receptor results in the tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin
receptor substrates (IRS) by the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (INSR). This allows
association of IRSs with the regulatory subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K).
PI3K activates 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1), which activates
Akt, a serine kinase. Akt in turn deactivates glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3),
leading to activation of glycogen synthase (GYS) and thus glycogen synthesis. Activation
of Akt also results in the translocation of GLUT4 vesicles from their intracellular
pool to the plasma membrane, where they allow uptake of glucose into the cell. Akt
also leads to mTOR-mediated activation of protein synthesis by eIF4 and p70S6K. The
translocation of GLUT4 protein is also elicited through the CAP/Cbl/TC10 pathway,
once Cbl is phosphorylated by INSR.;
