Predisposition to Proinsulin Misfolding as a Genetic Risk to Diet-Induced Diabetes
2021-06-02
Abstract excerpt
Throughout evolution, proinsulin has exhibited significant sequence variation in both C-peptide and insulin moieties. As the proinsulin coding sequence evolves, the gene product continues to be under selection pressure both for ultimate insulin bioactivity and for the ability of proinsulin to be folded for export through the secretory pathway of pancreatic β-cells. The substitution proinsulin-R(B22)E is known to y...
