Abstract excerpt
MAP4K5 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 5), an early component of MAP kinase signal cascades was shown to activate Jun kinase in mammalian cells. The association between SNPs of MAP4K5 and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) was investigated due to the known relationship of the JNK pathway with T2DM. A total of 1,399 cases were included in the study. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin release...
