It is expressed in adipose and muscle tissues where it plays a role in glucose metabolism regulation. AS160 contains vital domains that interact with signaling molecules influencing the membrane trafficking of glucose transporters like GLUT4. These actions facilitate the cellular uptake of glucose which is important for energy production in metabolically active tissues.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nAS160 acts as an important regulator in the insulin signaling pathway. It is associated with a complex network of proteins that modulate GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane. The phosphorylation state of AS160 influences its activity thereby impacting the downstream biological processes. Through regulation of intracellular signaling AS160 supports cellular energy homeostasis and its degradation often influenced by ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis can affect its functionality.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nAS160 acts within the insulin and AMPK signaling pathways. Through these pathways it interacts with proteins such as Akt and AMPK which are important for its activation and subsequent action. Akt phosphorylates AS160 resulting in the release of its inhibitory effects on Rab GTPases. This modification promotes GLUT4 mobilization enhancing glucose uptake during insulin stimulation.\u003cbr\u003e\nAS160 plays a role in conditions like type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. Dysregulation or mutations within AS160 can disrupt normal glucose metabolism leading to metabolic dysfunctions. In diabetes the interaction between AS160 and Akt becomes impaired hampering the insulin signaling cascade which further exacerbates glucose uptake issues and metabolic diseases. Alterations in AS160 pathway interactions hold potential implications for therapeutic approaches in managing these disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855871299753,"sku":"ab189890","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab189890","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
