Abstract excerpt
Calcium homeostasis is essential for maintaining the viability and function of pancreatic β cells and plays a key role in preventing the development of diabetes. Decreased levels of ATPase sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-transporting 2 (ATP2a2), the main calcium pump in β cells, are often found in individuals with diabetes and in diabetic animal models. However, the regulators of ATP2a2 and the molecular...
