Intronic Polymorphisms within TFAP2B Regulate Transcriptional Activity and Affect Adipocytokine Gene Expression in Differentiated Adipocytes
23 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
We have identified a gene encoding transcription factor activating enhancer binding protein-2beta (TFAP2B) as a candidate for conferring susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. Although we have also found that TFAP2B was preferentially expressed in adipose cells in a differentiation-dependent manner, the mechanisms by which the gene and gene polymorphisms contribute to conferring susceptibility to the disease have not...
