Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The loss of beta cells in type 1 diabetes may involve protein kinases because they control cell growth, differentiation, and survival. Previous studies have revealed that GTK, a Src-like protein tyrosine kinase expressed in beta cells (also named Bsk/Iyk), regulates multiple responses including growth and survival of rat insulinoma cells (RINm5F) and differentiation of neuronal PC12 cells. In the...
