Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sidt2 is an integral lysosomal membrane protein. Previously, we generated a Sidt2 global knockout mouse and found impaired insulin secretion, along with skeletal muscle pathology. METHODS: A mouse model with a muscle-specific knockout of the Sidt2 gene (Sidt2f/fCre) had been generated, to which extensive morphologic study as well as functional study was applied to investigate the direct role of Sidt2...
