The GCKR-P446L gene variant predisposes to raised blood cholesterol and lower blood glucose in the P446L mouse-a model for GCKR rs1260326
7 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The Glucokinase Regulatory Protein GKRP, encoded by GCKR, enables acute regulation of liver glucokinase to support metabolic demand. The common human GCKR rs1260326:Pro446 > Leu variant within a large linkage disequilibrium region associates with pleiotropic traits including lower Type 2 diabetes risk and raised blood triglycerides and cholesterol. Whether the GCKR-P446 > L substitution is causal to...
