FIGURE I. Proposed amino acid sensing mechanisms in skeletal muscle fibers.

FIGURE I

A hypothetical muscle fiber (adapted from reference 45) is shown that highlighting the recently identified AA sensing apparatus for leucine and arginine signaling to mTORC1. However, it is currently unknown whether leucine and arginine sensing in skeletal muscle cells is identical to what has been identified in kidney cells.
