Expression of Insulinoma-Associated 2 (INSM2) in Pancreatic Islet Cells Is Regulated by the Transcription Factors Ngn3 and NeuroD1
22 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
The insulinoma-associated 2 (Insm2) gene is a member of the Snail/Gfi1/Insm1 transcriptional repressor superfamily. However, little is known about how the expression of human INSM2 or mouse Insm2 in neuroendocrine tissues is regulated. Here we report the expression of INSM2/Insm2 in human fetal pancreas and mouse embryos, as well as adult pancreatic islets, and its regulation by two major islet transcription...
