- Metabolite
- HMDB0000687 (Leucine)
- Term
- Leucine Stimulation on Insulin Signaling
- Definition
- leucine's effect on mtor is synergistic with insulin via the phosphoinositol 3-kinase signaling pathway. the stimulatory effects of leucine on translation initiation are mediated in part through the protein kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mtor), where both insulin signaling and leucine signaling converge to promote a maximal response.
- Parent Term
- Biochemical pathway
- Parent Definition
- A linked series of chemical reactions that occur in a defined order within or between organism cells, and lead to a known function or end product.
