Effects of Apelin Peptides on Diabetic Complications.

abstract：:The Mastermind-like (MAML) proteins are transcriptional coactivators for Notch signaling, an evolutionarily conserved pathway that plays several key roles in development and in human disease. The MAML family contains MAML1, MAML2, and MAML3. More recently, MAML1 has been shown to function as a coactivator for the tumo...
