Abstract excerpt
Expression of early growth response protein (Egr)-1, a protein of the Egr family of zinc finger transcription factors, is stimulated in glucose-treated pancreatic β-cells and insulinoma cells. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the role of Egr transcription factors in pancreatic β-cells in vivo. To overcome the problem associated with redundancy of functions between Egr proteins, conditional transgenic...
