Substrate-Induced Regulation of Gene Expression in the Pancreas

R Graf, D Bimmler, T W Frick, G A Scheele
PMCID: PMC2589134

Abstract

Synthesis and secretion rates of pancreatic proteins, particularly of the (pro)enzymes, have been studied under different conditions and in several animal systems. This brief overview will focus on the levels of mRNA, the rates of protein synthesis and protein secretion in the pancreas under controlled dietary regimens.
