The role of the cellular membrane environment in mediating fibrillization and toxicity of islet amyloid polypeptide
Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a peptide that is produced by the beta cells in the pancreas. A misfolded, aggregated form of this peptide is associated with Type 2 Diabetes and is found as large brils in pancreata, intimately associated with the islet architecture. The role of these brils is th...
