Identification of Ser(1275) and Ser(1309) as autophosphorylation sites of the human insulin receptor in intact cells.

abstract：:Insulin administration attenuates cardiac ischemia-reperfusion apoptosis via activation of Akt-mediated cell-survival signaling. As p70s6 kinase is a cognate Akt-mediated phosphorylation target we evaluated whether p70s6 kinase activation is a functional requirement in insulin-mediated cell survival program during pos...
