abstract:The Gsx gene family are a group of genes found in many, but not all, animals. Gsx genes contain a homeobox DNA sequence and code for proteins that act as transcription factors.
Existing diabetes drugs, such as Actos from Eli Lilly (nyse: LLY - news - people ) and Avandia from GlaxoSmithkline (nyse: GSX - news - people ), resensitize the body to insulin by turning on the PPAR gamma receptor.
