Proglucagon-Derived Peptides Expression and Secretion in Rat Insulinoma INS-1 Cells
Rat insulinoma INS-1 cells are widely used to study insulin secretory mechanisms. Studies have shown that a population of INS-1 cells are bi-hormonal, co-expressing insulin, and proglucagon proteins. They coined this population as immature cells since they co-secrete proglucagon-derived peptides fro...
