Abstract

Protein phosphorylation is an important post-translational modification that regulates several cellular processes including insulin signaling. The evidences so far have already portrayed the importance of balanced actions of kinases and phosphatases in regulating the insulin signaling cascade. Therefore, elucidating the role of both kinases and phosphatases are equally important. Unfortunately, the role of phosphatases is less studied as compared to kinases. Since brain responds to insulin and insulin signaling is reported to be crucial for many neuronal processes, it is important to understand the role of neuronal insulin signaling regulators. Ser/Thr phosphatases seem to play significant roles in regulating neuronal insulin signaling. Therefore, in this review, we discussed the involvement of Ser/Thr phosphatases in regulating insulin signaling and insulin resistance in neuronal system at the backdrop of the same phosphatases in peripheral insulin sensitive tissues.
