Abstract excerpt
The cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1) is a ubiquitous transcription factor that contributes to the regulation of gluconeogenesis. The mechanisms of the CREB1 function remain largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to explore genetic variations in CREB1 promoter region and determine whether these loci affect transcriptional activity and risk on type 2 diabetes (T2D). Three polymorphisms were...
