PI(3)K = PI-3K ?

The section Insulin action on the cell refers to "Phosphatidylinositol-3-Kinase (PI-3K)" enzyme, whereas the section Positive feedback refers to "PI(3)K enzyme (Phosphoinositide 3-kinase)". I believe that PI(3)K = PI-3K and that both should be linked to Phosphoinositide 3-kinase, although this only occurs in the case of the latter. I believe that this is an inconsistent use of terminology, but I don't have enough conviction to edit the piece on the basis of my belief. Is "Phosphoinositide 3-kinase" = "Phosphatidylinositol-3-Kinase"? Can someone clarify this issue for me? --Ben Best 12:46, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

I have been assured by an expert in the field that PI(3)K = PI-3K = PI3K, and I have made the appropriate changes/links/additions. --Ben Best 13:36, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

last section

hey there, in the last section of the article it is stated that glut-4 plays a role in the liver. which is not the case, because it is not expressed in this organ. best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schneekette4 (talkcontribs) 07:23, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
