Abstract

Metabolic program expression and dependency vary along the length of the small intestine. PRDM16 transcriptionally regulates fatty acid oxidation (FAO), which is highest in the upper small intestine. Loss of Prdm16 reduces FAO, leading to apoptosis and diminished epithelial differentiation of progenitor cells in the upper intestine.
