Evidence for phosphorylation of actin by the insulin receptor-associated protein kinase from human placenta. 1983

F Machicao, and T Urumow, and O H Wieland

A purified preparation of rabbit muscle actin (43-kDa protein) is phosphorylated at tyrosine residues when incubated with solubilized insulin receptor from human placenta. Phosphorylation of the 95-kDa receptor subunit and of 43-kDa protein is stimulated by insulin and vanadate, respectively; however, the mode of action of the two agents is distinguishable.

D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes

D011972 Receptor, Insulin A cell surface receptor for INSULIN. It comprises a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits which are derived from cleavage of a single precursor protein. The receptor contains an intrinsic TYROSINE KINASE domain that is located within the beta subunit. Activation of the receptor by INSULIN results in numerous metabolic changes including increased uptake of GLUCOSE into the liver, muscle, and ADIPOSE TISSUE.
