Interaction Information:
Comment | The insulin signaling cascade branches off into two main pathways, the first is the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT (also called protein kinase B (PKB)) pathway which is largely responsible for insulin action on glucose uptake, as well as other metabolic actions of insulin, including the suppression of gluconeogenesis. The second pathway is the Ras-mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway which mediates gene expression, but also interacts with the PI3K-AKT pathway to control cell growth and differentiation. |
