from Metabolism Made Easy · host A J Ghalayini, Ph.D.
Insulin binding to its receptor initiates a cascade of intracellular events that lead to the activation of a phosphoprotein phosphatase. This phosphatase will dephosphorylate 8 distinct enzymes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and change their activity, thus changing the overall metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids.
