Foxa2 and Pdx1 cooperatively regulate postnatal maturation of pancreatic β-cells
24 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
The transcription factors (TF) Foxa2 and Pdx1 are key regulators of beta-cell (β-cell) development and function. Mutations of these TFs or their respective cis-regulatory consensus binding sites have been linked to maturity diabetes of the young (MODY), pancreas agenesis, or diabetes susceptibility in human.
