Remarkably, betaTG-Stx4 mice resisted the loss of beta-cell mass and the glucose intolerance that multiple low doses of streptozotocin (STZ) induce. Under standard conditions, glucose tolerance was enhanced and mice maintained normal fasting glycemia and insulinemia. Conversely, Stx4 heterozygous knockout mice succumbed rapidly to STZ-induced glucose intolerance compared with their wild-type littermates.

Syntaxin-4 not only bound to laminin but also latched onto the glycosaminoglycan side chains of syndecan-1, a laminin receptor that mediates epithelial morphogenesis. Thus, temporal extracellular extrusion of syntaxin-4 emerged as a novel regulatory element for laminin-induced mammary epithelial cell behaviors.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
