ZHX3 interacts with CEBPB to repress hepatic gluconeogenic gene expression and uric acid secretion
Abstract ZHX3, which encodes for a transcriptional repressor, is associated with fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels and increased type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk but its role in cell types involved in glucose metabolism is not well understood. Here, we show that the deletion of ZHX3 in the human pancreatic β-cell line EndoC-βH1 did not impair
