Abstract excerpt
Although considerable evidence implicates insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) in the cellular metabolism of insulin in many cell types, its mechanism and site of action are not clear. In this study, we have examined the relationship between insulin-degrading enzyme's peroxisomal location and its ability to degrade insulin by mutation of its peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS), the carboxy terminal A/S-K-L tripeptide....
