Abstract excerpt
PNRC2 was identified in our laboratory as a general cofactor for nuclear receptors. To better characterize the physiological function of PNRC2, we used gene-targeting technology to generate PNRC2-null mice (PNRC2(-/-) mice). These PNRC2(-/-) mice are viable and fertile. PNRC2-null mice, especially male mice, are lean and are resistant to high fat diet-induced obesity but without the induction of insulin...
