Insulin signaling

Insulin signaling influences energy metabolism as well as growth. The presence of insulin signals the fed state, and this signal is passed via the AKT branch, which leads to the uptake of glucose from the blood. Other branches of the signal cascade lead to cell growth and differentation.

胰岛素信号通路不仅影响能量代谢，亦对生长发育起着至关重要的作用。胰岛素信号的存在标志着饱食状态，该信号通过 AKT 分支传递，进而导致血液中葡萄糖的摄取。信号级联的其他分支则引发细胞生长与分化。
