Description:
Hepatic glucose production is critical for basal brain function and survival when dietary glucose is unavailable. Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) is an essential, rate-limiting enzyme that serves as a terminal gatekeeper for hepatic glucose release into the plasma. Mutations in G6Pase result in Von Gierke's disease (glycogen storage disease-1a), a potentially fatal genetic disorder. We have identified the transcriptional coactivator SRC-2 as a regulator of fasting hepatic glucose release, a function that SRC-2 performs by controlling the expression of hepatic G6Pase. SRC-2 modulates G6Pase expression directly by acting as a coactivator with the orphan nuclear receptor RORalpha. In addition, SRC-2 ablation, in both a whole-body and liver-specific manner, resulted in a Von Gierke's disease phenotype in mice. Our results position SRC-2 as a critical regulator of mammalian glucose production.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2668604/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2668604/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chopra, Atul R -- Louet, Jean-Francois -- Saha, Pradip -- An, Jie -- Demayo, Franco -- Xu, Jianming -- York, Brian -- Karpen, Saul -- Finegold, Milton -- Moore, David -- Chan, Lawrence -- Newgard, Christopher B -- O'Malley, Bert W -- DK58242/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- HL51586/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P01 DK059820/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P01 DK059820-08/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P01 DK58398/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P01 DK59820/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK056239/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK056239-08/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- U19 DK062434/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- U19 DK062434-07/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Nov 28;322(5906):1395-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1164847.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, 1 Baylor Plaza, Houston, TX 77030, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19039140" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
