Study 1: Sp1/Sp3 binding is linked to cell-specific expression of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor gene.
"The physiological effects of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are mediated through specific receptors expressed on target cells. Because aberrant GIP receptor (GIPR) expression has been implicated in abnormal GIP responses associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and food-induced Cushing syndrome, we sought to identify factors that regulate the GIPR," scientists writing in the American Journal of Physiology - Endocrinology and...
