Interaction Information:
Comment | An additional mediator of insulin action is the heterotrimeric G protein, G-alpha-q/11. Phosphorylation of G-alpha-q/11 by the insulin receptor activates PI3K, thus, stimulating GLUT4-mediated glucose uptake. This signaling pathway is inhibited by G-protein-coupled receptor kinase-2 (Grk2) which binds and inhibits the G-alpha subunit of G-alpha-q/11. |
