Disease relevance of TAS2R13

 

High impact information on TAS2R13

  • PGC-1alpha or PGC-1beta overexpression upregulated GLUT4 mRNA and downregulated myocyte enhancer factor 2C transcription factor mRNA; only PGC-1alpha overexpression caused an increase in the mRNA expression of TRB3, a negative regulator of insulin signaling [2].
  • TRB3 links the E3 ubiquitin ligase COP1 to lipid metabolism [1].
  • Indeed, adipocytes deficient in TRB3 accumulated larger amounts of ACC protein than did wild-type cells [1].
  • Here, we describe a parallel pathway, in which the pseudokinase Tribbles 3 (TRB3), whose abundance is increased during fasting, stimulates lipolysis by triggering the degradation of ACC in adipose tissue [1].
