Abstract:
[Summary] Activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) is an alkaline leucine zipper transcriptional factor ,which is involved in many physiological metabolism processes such as stress response ,inflammation and tumor growth. Moreover ,recent studies have shown that ATF4 also plays a key role in regulating lipid and glucose metabolism ,insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity ,which may related to pathways such as endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS ) ,peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor gamma coactivator (PGC1α) and target of rapamycin (TOR). This article summarized the recent research progress of ATF4 in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism.
