Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The posttranslational regulation of glucokinase (GK) differs in hepatocytes and pancreatic β-cells. We tested the hypothesis that GK mutants that cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GK-MODY) show compromised activity and posttranslational regulation in β-cells. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Activity and protein expression of GK-MODY and persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI)...
