Abstract excerpt
The catalytic function and thermal stability of wild-type and mutant recombinant human pancreatic beta-cell glucokinase was investigated. The mutants E70K and E300K, which are thought to be the cause of impaired insulin production by the pancreatic beta-cell and decreased glucose uptake by the liver of patients with maturity-onset diabetes of the young, were found to be functionally indistinguishable from the...
