bZIP transmembrane transcription factor CREBH: Potential role in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (Review)
The bZIP transmembrane protein CREBH and its possible role in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
AI simplified
Abstract
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-responsive element-binding protein H (CREBH) is activated by endoplasmic reticulum stress and is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
- CREBH is a transcription factor found in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
- Activation of CREBH occurs in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress, signaling related to liver glucose and lipid metabolism, and inflammation.
- CREBH may play a crucial role in regulating physiological functions linked to the development of NAFLD.
- The involvement of CREBH in NAFLD suggests it could serve as a potential target for pharmacological interventions.
