Effects of coding variants in the glucokinase regulatory protein gene on hepatic glucose and triglyceride metabolism suggest a gene regulatory function of glucokinase
31 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Regulation of glucose metabolism after a meal is the major task of hepatic glucokinase (GCK). Inhibition and nuclear retention of glucokinase during fasting is achieved by glucokinase regulatory protein (GKRP). Compounds disrupting the GCK-GKRP interaction alter glucose but not triglyceride levels, whilst GKRP coding alleles lower glucose but elevate triglycerides. The aim of this study was to...
