Genetic associations of type 2 diabetes with islet amyloid polypeptide processing and degrading pathways in asian populations.

Genetic associations of type 2 diabetes with islet amyloid polypeptide processing and degrading pathways in asian populations.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex disease characterized by beta cell dysfunctions. Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is highly conserved and co-secreted with insulin with over 40% of autopsy cases of T2D showing islet amyloid formation due to IAPP aggregation. Dysregulation in IAPP processing, stabi...
