Increased uncoupling protein-2 and -3 gene expressions in skeletal muscle of STZ-induced diabetic rats.

abstract：:NELL1 is an extracellular protein inducing osteogenic differentiation and bone formation of osteoblastic cells. To elucidate the intracellular signaling cascade evoked by NELL1, we have shown that NELL1 protein transiently activates the MAPK signaling cascade, induces the phosphorylation of Runx2, and promotes the rap...
