Question
Describe the events required for full activation of protein kinase B. Name two effects of insulin mediated by protein kinase $\mathrm{B}$ in muscle cells.
Step 1
This binding triggers a series of events that lead to the activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). Step 2: PI3K then phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) to produce phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP3). Step 3: PIP3 Show more…
