Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic duodenal homeobox-containing transcription factor 1 (PDX-1) plays a crucial role in pancreas development and beta-cell gene regulation. Absence of PDX-1 leads to pancreas agenesis and its malfunction causes MODY4 diabetes mellitus. PDX-1 has been suggested to be involved in the glucose-dependent regulation of insulin gene transcription. Whereas DNA-binding and transactivation domains of PDX-1 are in...
