A computational prediction of miR-194 target genes has suggested several targets linked to T2DM signaling pathways (ATM, AKT2, KCNJ11, MAPK1, SOCS2), insulin signaling (AKT2, ATM, CRK, FOXO1, GRB10, INPP5K, MAPK1, PRKAR1A) and AMPK signaling (ADRAP1A, AKT2, ATM, CHRNAS, MAPK1, PPAT, PPP2R2C, PRKAR1A). The gene discussed is MAPK1; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
