Their principal biological effect is the maintenance of glucose homeostasis, in coordination with other metabolic hormones (2)
For example, considering HepG2, Huh7, and Hep3B, even though they are all epithelial liver cancer cells with high expression of HNF4, HepG2 cells have normal expression of wild-type p53, Huh7 cells overexpress a mutant p53, while Hep3B cells are p53 null 65
In brief, gene fragments were obtained from Integrated DNA Technologies or Twist Biosciences or amplified using Q5 polymerase (New England Biolabs, M0491S)
Oral, intranasal, and transdermal formulations marketed for these molecules face severe bioavailability challenges
Targeted therapy would deliver glutathione to targeted tissues for better results
