Abstract:Nuclear receptor Farnesoid X Receptor (Fxr) and Small Heterodimer Partner (Shp) are key regulators of glucose, fat and bile acid homeostasis. As expected, liver-specific deletion of both
Fxr
and
Shp
(LDKO) sensitizes mice to bile acid excess. Surprisingly, high throughput RNA-sequencing analysis revealed increases in key glycosyltransferases involved in “decorating” various glycoproteins in LDKO livers. Remarkably, we were able to confirm increased glycan decoratio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
