Mice deficient in GEM GTPase show abnormal glucose homeostasis due to defects in beta-cell calcium handling.

Mice deficient in GEM GTPase show abnormal glucose homeostasis due to defects in beta-cell calcium handling.

AIMS AND HYPOTHESIS:Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from beta-cells is a tightly regulated process that requires calcium flux to trigger exocytosis of insulin-containing vesicles. Regulation of calcium handling in beta-cells remains incompletely understood. Gem, a member of the RGK (Rad/Gem/Kir...
