Brief description COUP-TF is a protein expressed in skeletal muscle, a tissue that accounts for ~40% of the body mass and energy expenditure, and is a major site of nutrient metabolism. COUP-TF is a member of the nuclear hormone receptor (NR) superfamily. These proteins respond to physiological signals, and are targets of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of inflammation, metabolic and endorcrine disorders. Our project is directed toward understanding the role of COUP-TF in the context of metabolism and obesity.
