DNAJC3 deficiency induces β-cell mitochondrial apoptosis and causes syndromic young-onset diabetes
22 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: DNAJC3, also known as P58IPK, is an Hsp40 family member that interacts with and inhibits PKR-like ER-localized eIF2α kinase (PERK). Dnajc3 deficiency in mice causes pancreatic β-cell loss and diabetes. Loss-of-function mutations in DNAJC3 cause early-onset diabetes and multisystemic neurodegeneration. The aim of our study was to investigate the genetic cause of early-onset syndromic diabetes in two...
