Abstract excerpt
IA-2 (insulinoma-associated protein 2), a major autoantigen in type 1 diabetes, is a receptor-tyrosine phosphatase-like protein associated with the membrane of secretory granules of neural and endocrine-specific cells. Loss of IA-2 activity in the mouse results in reduced insulin release and additional phenotypes, consistent with a general effect on neurosecretion and hormone release. To gain further insight into...
