The connexin 43 regulator Rotigaptide reduces cytokine-induced cell death in human islets
2018-05-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Abstarct</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Intercellular communication mediated by cationic fluxes through the Connexin-family of gap-junctions regulates glucose-stimulated insulin-secretion and beta-cell defense against inflammatory stress. Rotigaptide (RG, ZP123) is a peptide analog that increases intercellular conductance in cardiac muscle-cells by prevention of dephosphorylation and thereby uncoupling of Connexin...
