Rattus norvegicus | Pdk4 gene expression is inhibited by insulin. Knockdown of C/EBPbeta reduces Pdk4 gene expression and decreases the T3 induction of PDK4 in primary hepatocytes | down |
Rattus norvegicus | C/EBPbeta induces Pdk4 gene expression and increases PDK4 promoter activity, and decreases pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity. Binding of C/EBPbeta via its sequence elements localized between -634 to -626 and -96 to -87. Pdk4 is also induced by thyroid hormone T3, glucocorticoids, retinoic acid, and long chain fatty acids. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator PGC-1alpha enhances the T3 induction of the Pdk4 expression | up |
General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | regulation of Pdk4 gene expression by the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta, i.e. C/EBPbeta, which modulates the expression of multiple hepatic genes including those involved in metabolism, development, and inflammation. C/EBPbeta induces Pdk4 gene expression and decreases pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity, and it participates in the T3 induction of the Cpt1a and Pdk4 genes, overview | Rattus norvegicus |
