Abstract:

Background  

We have identified the acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase beta gene (ACACB) as a strong susceptibility gene to diabetic nephropathy in individuals with type 2 diabetes. To elucidate the mechanism by which ACACB contributes to conferring susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy, we examined the role of ACACB in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs).
