title: Potential role of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) in insulin-stimulated glucose transporter 4 translocation in adipocytes.
abstract: Insulin stimulation of Glut 4 translocation requires the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) but the downstream pathway remains ill-defined. We demonstrated that the overexpression of PDK1 (3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1), a downstream effector of PI 3-kinase, stimulated Glut 4 translocation in adipocytes. This effect does not require the PH domain of PDK1, but expression of the pleckstrin homology domain-deleted PDK1 inhibits the effect of insulin, but not okadaic acid, on Glut 4 translocation. These results support a role of the PDK1 pathway in the transmission of insulin signal to Glut translocation.
