Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: To explain the mechanisms whereby mutations in the HNF-1alpha gene cause insulin secretory defects. METHODS: A truncated mutant HNF-1alpha (HNF-1alpha288t) was overexpressed in hepatoma cells (HepG2) and murine insulinoma cells (MIN6) using a recombinant adenovirus system and expression of the HNF-1alpha target genes and insulin secretion were examined. RESULTS: Expression of phenylalanine...
