Establishment of a long-term stable β-cell line and its application to analyze the effect of Gcg expression on insulin secretion

Abstract A pancreatic β-cell line MIN6 was previously established in our lab from an insulinoma developed in an IT6 transgenic mouse expressing the SV40 T antigen in β-cells. This cell line has been widely used for in vitro analysis of β-cell function, but tends to lose the mature β-cell features, i...
