This Project Grant, awarded May 8, 2026, by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), provides $607,612 in federal funding to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco for a research project extending through January 31, 2030. The funded research investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which ankyrin repeat and SOCS box containing 4 (ASB4) regulates feeding behavior and energy homeostasis in mouse models, with the objective of establishing ASB4 as a pivotal regulator of both homeostatic and hedonic feeding pathways. The project delivers basic biomedical research services focused on elucidating how ASB4 controls meal termination and food choice through examination of its site of action within the brain, its interaction with the brain reward system, and its cellular mechanisms of action. Given that ASB4 is highly conserved between mice and humans and has been linked to obesity through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the research is designed to provide mechanistic insight applicable to understanding human obesity and food intake regulation. This award exemplifies NIDDK's commitment to supporting investigator-initiated research that advances understanding of disease mechanisms underlying metabolic disorders and obesity.
