Phospholipase D1 mediates AMP-activated protein kinase signaling for glucose uptake.

PLoS One 5(3):e9600 (2010) PMID 20231899

Glucose homeostasis is maintained by a balance between hepatic glucose production and peripheral glucose utilization. In skeletal muscle cells, glucose utilization is primarily regulated by glucose uptake. Deprivation of cellular energy induces the activation of regulatory proteins and thus glucose uptake. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is known to play a significant role in the regulation of energy balances. However, the mechanisms related to the AMPK-mediated control of glucose uptake have yet to be elucidated.

    J Biol Chem (2013) PMID 23661706

    We identified human Transmembrane Protein 214 (TMEM214) as a critical mediator of ER stress-induced apoptosis. Overexpression of TMEM214 induced apoptosis, whereas knockdown of TMEM214 inhibited ER stress-induced apoptosis. TMEM214 was localized on the outer membrane of ER and constitutively associa...

    We hypothesized that CD36 plays a pivotal role in mediating cross-talk between inhaled ozone (O3)-induced circulating factors and systemic vascular dysfunction. O3 exposure (1 ppm x 4h) induced lung inflammation in WT mice that was absent in the CD36 deficient (CD36(-)/(-)) mice. Acetylcholine (ACh)...
