Functional interplay between the transcription factors USF1 and PDX-1 and protein kinase CK2 in pancreatic β-cells

Abstract Glucose homeostasis is regulated by insulin, which is produced in the β-cells of the pancreas. The synthesis of insulin is controlled by several transcription factors including PDX-1, USF1 and USF2. Both, PDX-1 and USF1 were identified as substrates for protein kinase CK2. Here, we have ana...
