Abstract
The ChREBP transcription factor is regulated by glucose and plays a role in insulin sensitivity, but the mechanism underlying these effects remains unclear. In a recent Nature article, Herman et al. (2012) show that a shorter ChREBP isoform (ChREBP-β) links glucose transport to lipogenesis in white adipose tissue.
