TUG regulation of thermogenic gene expression

Exploratory Score: 0.900 Price: $0.50 Metabolic regulation Mouse muscle and adipose tissue Status: proposed

What This Experiment Tests

Exploratory experiment designed to discover new patterns targeting Sarcolipin, UCP1, Tug (Aspscr1) in Mouse muscle and adipose tissue. Primary outcome: Expression levels of thermogenic genes

Description

Analysis of how TUG cleavage regulates the expression of thermogenic genes including sarcolipin in muscle and uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in adipose tissue. The study examined the transcriptional changes downstream of TUG cleavage that promote lipid oxidation and thermogenesis, demonstrating that this pathway coordinates glucose uptake with energy expenditure.
