Extra Details:
Glycerol kinase; microorganism acts as a NR4A1 inhibitor with enzymatic activity. It directly binds to and inhibits the transcription factor NR4A1; thereby negatively regulating hepatic gluconeogenesis and reducing blood glucose levels. Glycerol kinase; microorganism positively regulates UCP1 expression via partial dependence on the β-adrenergic receptor-cAMP-CREB pathway; promotes browning of white adipose tissue and thermogenesis; and further modulates intracellular fatty acid composition and energy metabolism. In diabetic mouse models; overexpression of Glycerol kinase effectively antagonizes NR4A1-induced hyperglycemia; demonstrating potential for improving glucose homeostasis. Glycerol kinase; microorganism can be used for studies on diabetes and obesity[1][2].
