Biochem/physiol Actions

Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a hormone coexpressed with insulin by pancreatic β-cells. IAPP is used to study the mechanisms of amyloid deposition and its role in molecular misfolding processes expecially in conditions such as diabetes type II.

Human islet amyloid polypeptide is a hormone coexpressed with insulin by pancreatic beta-cells. For reasons not clearly understood, hIAPP aggregates in type II diabetics to form oligomers that interfere with beta-cell function, eventually leading to the loss of insulin production.

The role of islet amyloidosis in the onset and progression of Type 2 diabetes remains obscure. Islet amyloid polypeptide is a 37 amino-acid, beta-cell peptide which is co-stored and co-released with insulin. Human islet amyloid polypeptide refolds to a beta-conformation

Amyloid deposits localized to the islets of Langerhans are typical of non-insulin-dependent human diabetes mellitus and of diabetes mellitus in adult cats. Amyloid deposits also commonly occur in insulin-producing pancreatic tumors. We have purified a major protein--insulinoma or islet amyloid

Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP, amylin) is secreted from pancreatic islet beta-cells and converted to amyloid deposits in type 2 diabetes. Conversion from soluble monomer, IAPP 1-37, to beta-sheet fibrils involves changes in the molecular conformation, cellular biochemistry and diabetes-related factors.
