Species-specific roles for the MAFA and MAFB transcription factors in regulating islet β cell identity
2022-10-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with compromised identity of insulin-producing pancreatic islet beta (β) cells, characterized by inappropriate production of other islet cell-enriched hormones. Here we examined how hormone misexpression was influenced by the MAFA and MAFB transcription factors, closely related proteins that maintain islet cell function. Mice specifically lacking MafA in β cel...
