The invention provides diagnostic and prognostic methods and methods of evaluating treatment protocols for disorders such as obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cancer and vascular disease by detecting the levels of a novel isoform of ChREBP, termed ChREBP β. The invention also provides nucleic acids, proteins, reporter constructs based on ChREBP β and methods of identifying one or more agents that modulate the expression of a ChREBP β target gene. |
