Serine palmitoyltransferase-mediated de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis is required for normal insulin production and glucose tolerance
2025-05-17
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Aims/Hypothesis</h4> The importance for normal insulin secretion of ceramide synthesis is unclear. De novo ceramide synthesis requires serine palmitoyl transferase, SPT2, encoded by Sptl2 . <h4>Methods</h4> We generated β-cell-selective Sptl2 null mice by crossing animals with floxed alleles to mice expressing Cre recombinase from the Ins1 locus. Metabolic phenotyping, transcriptomi...
