Abstract excerpt
Patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) is a non-secreted protein primarily expressed in liver and adipose tissue. Recently, numerous genetic studies have shown that PNPLA3 is a major susceptibility gene for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the mechanism involved in transcriptional regulation of the PNPLA3 gene remains unknown. We performed a detailed analysis of the human PNPLA3...
