| Research Abstract |
Through the analyses of Nrf1 liver-specific knockout mice, we examined the function of Nrf1 in the livers. Gene expression analysis using microarray, chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis, and metabolome analysis using CE-TOFMS revealed that Nrf1 directly and indirectly regulates the genes related to amino acid and lipid catabolism, suggesting that the dysregulation of these metabolic genes is associated with liver phenotypes of Nrf1 knockout mice.
