Tankyrase interacts with the allosteric site of glucokinase and inhibits its glucose-sensing function in the beta cell
2021-08-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Insulin secretion in the pancreatic beta cell is rate-limited by glucokinase (GCK), the glucose sensor that catalyzes the first step of glucose metabolism. GCK consists of two lobes connected by a flexible hinge that allows the kinase to exhibit a spectrum of conformations ranging from the active, closed form to several inactive, less-compact forms. Activating GCK mutations can cause hyperinsuli...
