C. REGULATION OF SIGNALING CASCADES ● An autoimmune condition that destroys β cells in the pancreas
which are responsible for production of insulin
1. Serine-threonine kinases phosphorylate IRS-4 → ↓susceptibility ● More commonly diagnosed during childhood or adolescence
to phosphorylation by insulin receptor(Akt/PKB, Protein period (< 20 years old)
phosphatase 2A - PP2A) ● Characterized by the mobilization of TAGs from adipocytes
2. Phosphotyrosine phosphatase 1B(PTP1B) : contributes to which are then oxidized and produce acetyl CoA and ketone
termination of insulin action bodies
3. Phosphatase & Tensin homologue on chromosome 10(PTEN) : → Production of high levels of ketone bodies (ketogenesis) ->
a 3’ phosphatase lower blood pH (can be fatal)
