Interaction Information:
| Comment | Pax4 protects adult islets from stress-induced apoptosis by suppressing selective nuclear factor kappaB target genes while increasing Bcl-2 levels. Furthermore, it promotes dedifferentiation and proliferation of beta-cells through MafA repression, with a concomitant increase in Cdk4 and c-myc expression. |
