Still, PLAG1, an important regulator of the cell cycle & apoptosis (Vega‐Benedetti et al., 2017), was found to have downstream effects on Glut4, PPAR delta, PACAP1‐R, and Rasgrf1, all which transcribe proteins involved in carbohydrate metabolism (Vega‐Benedetti et al., 2017), and linked with control of fetal growth and the pathogenesis of transient neonatal diabetes mellitus as well as certain types of cancer (Brøns et al., 2010; Hoffmann & Spengler, 2012; Vega‐Benedetti et al., 2017). This evidence concerns the gene SLC2A4 and transient neonatal diabetes mellitus.
