Regulation of the human GLUT4 gene promoter: Interaction between a transcriptional activator and myocyte enhancer factor 2A
20 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
The GLUT4 gene is subject to complex tissue-specific and metabolic regulation, with a profound impact on insulin-mediated glucose disposal. We have shown, by using transgenic mice, that the human GLUT4 promoter is regulated through the cooperative function of two distinct regulatory elements, domain 1 and the myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) domain. The MEF2 domain binds transcription factors MEF2A and MEF2D in...
