General description
AS160 (Akt Substrate of 160 kDa, Akt1S1), Rab GAP (GTPase activating protein), is phosphorylated on multiple sites by Akt in response to insulin in adipocytes and contraction in muscles. AS160 is the long sought after link between the upstream insulin signaling through insulin/PI3K/Akt and GLUT4 vessicle translocation to the cell membrane. It has 6 Akt phosphorylation consensus sequences that are believed to become phosphorylated upon insulin stimulation. This phosphorylation is required for translocation of GLUT4-containing vesicles to the cell membrane1. A mutation of two or more of these phosphorylation sites results in a dramatic decrease in AS160 activity and insulin-stimulated GLUT4 redistribution at the cell membrane2. AS160 has also shown to be important for GLUT4 expcytosis2.
Specificity
Chimpanzee, equine, and ox (90% sequence homology).
This antibody recognizes AS160 at the C-terminus.

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a highly conserved, heterotrimeric serine/threonine kinase with critical sensory and regulatory functions, is proposed to induce antiaging actions of caloric restriction (CR). Although earlier studies assessed CR's effects on AMPK in rodent skeletal muscle, the scope

Either calorie restriction [CR; consuming 60-65% of ad libitum (AL) intake] or acute exercise can independently improve insulin sensitivity in old age, but their combined effects on muscle insulin signaling and glucose uptake have previously been unknown. Accordingly, we assessed
Lipid mixtures containing a very high proportion of saturated fatty acids only modestly impair insulin signaling in cultured muscle cells.

Exercise and calorie restriction (CR) can each improve insulin sensitivity in older individuals, but benefits of combining these treatments on skeletal muscle insulin signaling and glucose uptake are poorly understood, especially in predominantly slow-twitch muscles (eg, soleus). Accordingly, our purpose

A single exercise session can increase insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (GU) by skeletal muscle, concomitant with greater Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160) phosphorylation on Akt-phosphosites (Thr642 and Ser588) that regulate insulin-stimulated GU. Recent research using mouse skeletal muscle suggested that
