Abstract excerpt
The endoplasmatic glucose-6-phosphate transporter is involved in the control of hepatic glucose production and blood glucose homeostasis. In this study, the expression of a luciferase reporter gene under the control of the glucose-6-phosphate transporter gene promoter was examined in transiently transfected hepatoma cells. The promoter activity was stimulated approximately 2.5-fold by dexamethasone. Mutational...
