Facts about Nocturnin.
Exerts a rhythmic post-transcriptional control of genes necessary for metabolic functions such as nutrient absorption, glucose/insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, adipogenesis, inflammation and osteogenesis. Plays an essential role in favoring adipogenesis over osteoblastogenesis and functions as a key regulator of the adipogenesis/osteogenesis equilibrium.
