Differentially Expressed MicroRNA-483 Confers Distinct Functions in Pancreatic β- and α-Cells
25 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
Insulin secreted from pancreatic β-cells and glucagon secreted from pancreatic α-cells are the two major hormones working in the pancreas in an opposing manner to regulate and maintain a normal glucose homeostasis. How microRNAs (miRNAs), a population of non-coding RNAs so far demonstrated to be differentially expressed in various types of cells, regulate gene expression in pancreatic β-cells and its closely...
