| GENE SUMMARY |
|---|
| The adenovirus E1A protein both activates and represses gene expression to promote cellular proliferation and inhibit differentiation. The protein encoded by this gene antagonizes transcriptional activation and cellular transformation by E1A. This protein shares limited sequence similarity with E1A and binds both the general transcription factor TBP and the tumor suppressor pRb in vitro. This gene may contribute to the transcriptional control of cell growth and differentiation. [provided by RefS |

| Insulin resistance and inflammation | 1. Recent results suggest that CREG1 haploinsufficiency confers increased susceptibility of adipose tissue to inflammation, leading to aggravated obesity and insulin resistance when challenged with HFD ; CREG1 heterozygous mice are susceptible to high fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. | 28459882 |
