Multiple E-boxes in the distal promoter of the rat pyruvate carboxylase gene function as a glucose-responsive element.

Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is an anaplerotic enzyme that regulates glucose-induced insulin secretion in pancreatic islets. Dysregulation of its expression is associated with type 2 diabetes. Herein we describe the molecular mechanism underlying the glucose-mediated transcriptional regulation of the P...
