Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein-1 Mediates the Effect of Insulin on Hexokinase II Gene Expression in Human Muscle Cells
1 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
Insulin upregulates hexokinase II (HKII) expression in skeletal muscle, and this effect is altered in type 2 diabetic patients. This study was conducted to identify the transcription factors that mediate the effect of insulin on HKII gene expression in human muscle. We have cloned the promoter region of the HKII gene and investigated its regulation in a primary culture of human skeletal muscle cells. We defined a...
