Cloning and Characterization of the Human and Rat Islet-specific Glucose-6-phosphatase Catalytic Subunit-related Protein (IGRP) Genes
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Islet-specific glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) catalytic subunit-related protein (IGRP) is a homolog of the catalytic subunit of G6Pase, the enzyme that catalyzes the terminal step of the gluconeogenic pathway. Its catalytic activity, however, has not been defined. Since IGRP gene expression is restricted to islets, this suggests a possible role in the regulation of islet metabolism and, hence, insulin secretion...
