Integrative In Silico Profiling of Major Phytochemicals From a Sclerocarya birrea-Nauclea latifolia-Piper longum Mixture: Docking, Molecular Dynamics, ADMET, and Ligand-Based Target Prediction on Shared Pathways in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Alzheimer's Disease. [PDF]
Which major phytochemical from the Sclerocarya birrea–Nauclea latifolia–Piper longum mixture engages shared targets across the T2DM–AD axis? Integrated docking, triplicate 100‐ns molecular dynamics, post‐MD MM‐GBSA, and ADMET/target prediction prioritize QR‐PME, which forms stable GSK3β and TACE complexes with binding energy estimates comparable to ...

Glucokinase and glucokinase activator
Abstract Glucokinase (GK) plays a pivotal role in glucose homeostasis as the glucose sensor in the pancreas and liver. Loss of function of GK results in hyperglycemia, and gain of function causes congenital hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.

Abstract Background and Aims Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α (PPARα) regulates fatty acid transport and catabolism in liver. However, the role of intestinal PPARα in lipid homeostasis is largely unknown. Here, intestinal PPARα was examined for its modulation of obesity and NASH. Approach and Results Intestinal PPARα was activated and fatty

NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma: The growing challenge
Risk and protective factors for NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cause of cancer‐related mortality and morbidity worldwide. With the obesity pandemic, NAFLD‐related HCC is contributing to the burden of disease exponentially.

UDP-Glucose: A Cereblon-Dependent Glucokinase Protein Degrader [PDF]
We previously reported that glucokinase is ubiquitinated and degraded by cereblon with an unknown endogenous glucokinase protein degrader. Here, we show that UDP-glucose is a glucokinase protein degrader.

Glucokinase links Kruppel-like factor 6 to the regulation of hepatic insulin sensitivity in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [PDF]
The polymorphism, KLF6-IVS1-27A, in the Krüppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) transcription factor gene enhances its splicing into antagonistic isoforms and is associated with delayed histological progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Role of Glucokinase in the Subcellular Localization of Glucokinase Regulatory Protein [PDF]
Glucokinase (GCK) is the rate-limiting enzyme of liver glucose metabolism. Through protein-protein interactions, glucokinase regulatory protein (GCKR) post-transcriptionally regulates GCK function in the liver, and causes its nuclear localization. However the role of GCK in regulating GCKR localization is unknown.
