Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic variants in the human CDKAL1 (CDK5 regulatory subunit associated protein 1-like 1) gene have been associated with reduced insulin secretion and type 2 diabetes (T2D). CDKAL1 is a methylthiotransferase that catalyzes 2-methylthio (ms(2)) modification of the adenine at position...
