Insulin interacting proteins and stress markers in T1D

We have developed novel methods for proteomic study of beta-cells within native islets. Using antibodies to proinsulin or insulin we reported the first Biosynthetic Interaction Network for insulin (Pottekat, Cell Reports, 2013). Based upon our finding that many proteins which interact directly with insulin are T1D GWAS candidates or proteins required for ER homeostasis, we […]
