VDR and type 2 diabetes mellitus: BRD7 and BRD9 can recognise acetylated lysine.217 BRD7 is a component of polybromo-associated BRG1-associated factor (PBAF)-specific SWI/SNF, while BRD9 belongs to the BAF complex.218,219 In 2018, Wei et al.220 explored the role of vitamin D receptor (VDR) in T2D and found that the balance between PBAF-BRD7 and BAF-BRD9 is important for the VDR-induced pro-survival and anti-inflammatory response.
