Transcriptional activation of the GLUT2 gene by the IPF-1/STF-1/IDX-1 homeobox factor.
1 Nov 1996
Abstract excerpt
The homeodomain protein PDX-1, referred as IPF-1/STF-1/IDX-1, is a transcriptional factor that plays a critical role in the control of several genes expressed in the pancreatic islet. PDX-1 gene expression has been previously shown to be reduced in cultured beta-cell lines chronically exposed to high glucose concentrations. As the glucose transporter type 2 (GLUT2) gene expression is selectively decreased in the...
