A growing body of evidence suggests that type 2 diabetes is mediated by genetic and epigenetic regulators (Kwak and Park, 2016) and proteins such as ACY-1 and GHR are thought to influence a range of diabetes-associated metabolic mechanisms (Kim and Park, 2017; Pérez-Pérez et al., 2012). This evidence concerns the gene ACY1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
