Abstract excerpt
Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP; amylin) is responsible for amyloid formation in type-2 diabetes. Not all organisms form islet amyloid, and amyloid formation correlates strongly with variations in primary sequence. Studies of human and rodent IAPP have pointed to the amino acid residues 20-29 reg...
