TIGAR Is Required for Efficient Intestinal Regeneration and Tumorigenesis
30 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Regulation of metabolic pathways plays an important role in controlling cell growth, proliferation, and survival. TIGAR acts as a fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, potentially promoting the pentose phosphate pathway to produce NADPH for antioxidant function and ribose-5-phosphate for nucleotide synthesis. The functions of TIGAR were dispensable for normal growth and development in mice but played a key role in...
