Abstract excerpt
The product of the PPP1R3B gene (G(L)) is the regulatory subunit of PP1 - a serine/threonine phosphatase involved in the modulation of glycogen synthesis in the liver and skeletal muscle. The PPP1R3B gene is located on chromosome 8p23 in a region that has been linked with type 2 diabetes and maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). We examined whether sequence variants at the PPP1R3B locus are responsible for...
