Regulation of the Pancreatic Duodenal Homeobox-1 Protein by DNA-dependent Protein Kinase
16 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor PDX-1 plays a crucial role during pancreatic development and in the function of insulin-producing beta cells. Disruption of the pdx-1 gene in these cells induces overt diabetes in mice, and this gene is modified in several type 2 diabetic families. It is thus crucial to determine the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of PDX-1 expression and/or activation. We identified new...
