Protocol for determining zinc-dependent β cell-selective small-molecule delivery in mouse pancreas

Summary: Targeted drug delivery to pancreatic islet β cells is an unmet clinical need. β cells possess a uniquely high Zn2+ concentration, and integrating Zn2+-binding activity into a small molecule can bias drug accumulation and activity toward β cells. This protocol can be used to evaluate a molec...
