Tóm tắt

Homeobox C4 (HOXC4) links metabolic pathways and correlates inversely with mouse body weight and positively with Ucp1 expression in mouse adipose tissue. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments in mice demonstrated HOXC4's essential role in promoting adipose thermogenesis and providing metabolic benefits. HOXC4 interacts with the nuclear receptor coactivator 1 cofactor via its hexapeptide motif to activate Ucp1 transcription, revealing a novel mechanism of thermogenic gene regulation.
