[HTML][HTML] Selective activation of the rat hepatic endosomal insulin receptor kinase: role for the endosome in insulin signaling

AP Bevan, JW Burgess, PG Drake, A Shaver… - Journal of Biological …, 1995 - ASBMB
Insulin administration activates the insulin receptor kinase (IRK) in both plasma membrane
(PM) and endosomes (ENs) raising the possibility of transmembrane signaling occurring in
the endosomal compartment. Peroxovanadium compounds activate the IRK by inhibiting IR-
associated phosphotyrosine phosphatase (s). Following the administration of the
phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor bisperoxo (1, 10-phenanthroline) oxovanadate (V)
anion (bpV (phen)) activation of the hepatic IRK in ENs preceded that in PM by 5 min. When …
