Methods of Identifying Insulin Response Modulators and Uses Therefor.

摘要

Methods of identifying insulin response modulators are provided. In particular, methods that feature identifying modulators of Akt and its associated substrates (including R-type calcium channel alpha-1E subunit) (R-CaC1E), WNK1, FMS interacting protein (FMIP), nGAP-like protein, nuclear matrix protein p84, HIRA interacting protein 3 (HIRIP3), HSP71, ribosomal protein L6, guanine nucleotide exchange factor Lbc (GEF Lbc), ATP citrate lyase, Mi-2b, peripheral benzodiazepine receptor-associated protein 1, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U (hnRNP U protein), pyruvate carboxylase precursor, Eps domain containing protein (RalBP1), nonmuscle myosin IIA (NMMIIA), and stress 70 protein (p66 mot1/GRP75), or activities associated therewith, are provided. Therapeutic methods utilizing compounds identified according to the methods of the invention are also provided.
