Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Adaptor proteins containing PH domain, PTB domain, and leucine zipper motif 1 and 2 (APPL1/2) play a key role in cell proliferation in many tissues. APPL1 or APPL2 as an adaptor for adiponectin receptors mediates the signaling pathway of adiponectin which acts as an anti-atherosclerotic adipokine. This study aimed to investigate whether genetic variations in the APPL1/2 genes affect the risk of...
