These results support a model whereby AS160, Rab8A, and myosin Vb are required for insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation in muscle cells, potentially as part of a linear signaling cascade.
Title: Muscle cells engage Rab8A and myosin Vb in insulin-dependent GLUT4 translocation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
