Abstract excerpt
Glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway, which plays an important role in glucose toxicity and cellular insulin resistance. Thus, the mechanisms by which GFAT expression is regulated under physiological and pathological conditions are of interest in connection with diabetes. In this study, we cloned the 5'-flanking region...
