malfunction | mice lacking Nocturnin (Noct-/-) display significantly increased amplitudes of mRNA expression of hepatic genes encoding key metabolic enzymes regulating lipid and cholesterol synthesis, both over the daily circadian cycle and in response to fasting and refeeding. Noct-/- mice have increased plasma triglyceride throughout the night and increased amplitude of hepatic cholesterol levels. Posttranscriptional control by Nocturnin regulates the amplitude of these critical metabolic pathways, and loss of this activity results in increased metabolic flux and reduced obesity. Loss of Noct has a significant effect on epididymal white adipose tissue weight (eWAT), resulting in an overall reduced eWAT as a percentage of total body weight in KO mice | Mus musculus |
physiological function | function for the circadian deadenylase nocturnin as a regulator of metabolic amplitude across the day/night cycle and in response to nutrient challenge. Posttranscriptional control by Nocturnin regulates the amplitude of lipid and cholesterol synthesis pathways | Mus musculus |
