Disease relevance of Pask

 

High impact information on Pask

 

Biological context of Pask

  • A recent report suggested that PASKIN mRNA, protein, and kinase activity are increased in pancreatic islet beta-cells under hyperglycemic conditions and that PASKIN is necessary for insulin gene expression [2].
  • Here we show that no 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-ss-d-galactopyranoside (X-gal) staining was observed in islet beta-cells derived from Paskin knockout mice, irrespective of the ambient glucose concentration, whereas adenoviral expression of the lacZ gene in beta-cells showed strong X-gal staining [2].
  • We previously generated Paskin knockout mice by targeted replacement of the kinase domain with the beta-geo fusion gene encoding beta-galactosidase reporter activity [2].
 

Anatomical context of Pask

 

Associations of Pask with chemical compounds

  • Increasing glucose concentrations resulted in PASKIN-independent induction of insulin mRNA levels and insulin release [2].
