Adipocyte-specific Expression of Murine Resistin Is Mediated by Synergism between Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor γ and CCAAT/Enhancer-binding Proteins
7 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Resistin antagonizes insulin action in mouse, making it a potential therapeutic target for treating metabolic diseases such as diabetes. To better understand how mouse resistin gene (Retn) expression is restricted to fat tissue, we identified an adipocyte-specific enhancer located approximately 8.8-kb upstream of the transcription start site. This region contains a binding site for the master adipogenic regulator...
