Abstract
We have examined the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the stimulation of protein synthesis by insulin using two complementary approaches. In the first, fibroblasts were pretreated with phorbol esters to down‐regulate PKC. In these cells, the effects of insulin and of phorbol esters on protein synthesis were completely abolished, although serum still elicited an effect approaching that seen in control cells. Secondly, we used newly developed inhibitors of PKC which, again, blocked the effects of insulin and phorbol esters without greatly reducing the response to serum. Thus PKC apparently plays an important role in the stimulation of translation by insulin.Keywords
