1 21969371 Mimicking this, islets from PAK1(-/-) knock-out mice exhibited profound defects in the second/sustained-phase of insulin secretion.
2 21969371 Analyses of human and mouse islet beta cell signaling revealed PAK1 activation to be 1) dependent upon Cdc42 abundance, 2) crucial for signaling downstream to activate ERK1/2, but 3) dispensable for cofilin phosphorylation.
3 21969371 Exacerbating this, the PAK1(-/-) knock-out mice also exhibited peripheral insulin resistance.
4 21969371 Insulin resistance was coupled to ablation of insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle from PAK1(-/-) knock-out mice, and in sharp contrast to islet beta cells, skeletal muscle PAK1 loss was underscored by defective cofilin phosphorylation but normal ERK1/2 activation.
