Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: We studied the effects of heterozygous human INS gene mutations on insulin secretion, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and other mechanisms in both MIN6 and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC)-derived beta-like cells, as well as the effects of prolonged overexpression of mutant human INS in MIN6 cells. METHODS: We modelled the structure of mutant C109Y and G32V proinsulin...
