Elucidating conformational alteration of human islet amyloid polypeptide by nonsynonymous substitution

2024-11-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a peptide hormone that serves multiple essential functions, including metabolism and regulating gastric emptying and satiation through amylin receptors. However, mutations in the IAPP , notably in the amyloidogenic segment (20-29 amino acid residues), cause its aggregation and amyloid formation, which leads to β-cell toxicity and death in type 2 diabetes mell...
