Nontelomeric Role for Rap1 in Regulating Metabolism and Protecting against Obesity

The mammalian telomere-binding protein Rap1 was recently found to have additional nontelomeric functions, acting as a transcriptional cofactor and a regulator of the NF-κB pathway. Here, we assess the effect of disrupting mouse Rap1 in vivo and report on its unanticipated role in metabolic regulatio...
