Insulin was found to provoke simultaneous, rapid, biphasic increases in [3H]choline-labeling of phosphatidylcholine and phosphocholine in BC3H-1 myocytes. Phorbol esters increased [3H]choline-labeling of phosphocholine, but not phosphatidylcholine. Both agonists increased diacylglycerol production. These results suggest that: (a) insulin provokes coordinated increases in the synthesis and hydrolysis of PC; and, (b) insulin-induced activation of protein kinase C may activate a PC-specific phospholipase.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
