The regulator of G-protein signaling RGS16 promotes insulin secretion and β-cell proliferation in rodent and human islets

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling regulates insulin secretion and pancreatic β cell-proliferation. While much knowledge has been gained regarding how GPCRs are activated in β cells, less is known about the mechanisms controlling their deactivation. In many cell types, termination of GPCR signaling is controlled by the family of Regulators of G-protein Signaling (RGS). RGS proteins are...
