Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hepatic ER stress is a risk factor of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. X-box binding protein 1 spliced (XBP1s), a transcription factor, plays a key role in ameliorating insulin resistance and maintaining glucose homeostasis. Unfortunately, the short half-life of the protein dampens its clinical application, and the specific site of lysine residue that could be ubiquitinated and involved in the...
