Based on our study we find 50 TFBSs conserved across seven species on the Nnat promoter, and expression of the TFs corresponding to these in adipose tissue, many of which have known roles in adipocyte processes including, adipogenesis (Klf15, Irf1, Creb1, Egr2, Gata3); lipogenesis (Mlxipl, Srebp1c); inflammation (Jun, Stat3); insulin signalling and diabetes susceptibility (Foxo1, Tcf7l2). The gene discussed is JUN; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
