Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms in nuclear respiratory factor-1 (Nrf1), a key transcriptional regulator of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins, have been linked to diabetes. Homozygous deletion of Nrf1 is embryonic lethal in mice. Our goal was to generate mice with β-cell-specific reduction in NRF1 function to investigate the relationship between NRF1 and diabetes. We report the generation of mice expressing a...
