| Title: | Transcription factor ChREBP – the coordinator of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism |
| Abstract: | Transcription factor ChREBP, in complex with MLX, binds to carbohydrate-response element (ChoRE) located in the promoters of genes related to glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, pentosephosphate pathway and lipogenesis, activating their transcription following stimulation with glucose, insulin-independently. In this article the mechanisms of ChREBP regulation and ChREBP functions under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions are described in detail. The possible use of ChREBP activity modulation as a therapeutic tool, e.g. in case of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes type 2 and cancers, is also discussed. |
