Summary: Predicted to enable hormone activity; identical protein binding activity; and lipid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of bone resorption; negative regulation of osteoclast differentiation; and sensory perception of pain. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in embryo; pancreas; pancreas primordium; and pancreas trunk epithelium. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus.

During fetal development, endogenous amylin favors the birth of microglial cells in the arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus and area postrema.

This study that Cu(II) ions bound to the human IAPP peptide together with H2O2, can induce formation of large amounts of IAPP dimers connected by covalent dityrosine cross-links. This cross-linking is less pronounced at low pH and for murine IAPP, likely due to less efficient Cu(II) binding.
Title: Copper ions induce dityrosine-linked dimers in human but not in murine islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP/amylin).
These data provide for the first time evidences for the toxic nature of oligomeric assemblies of murine amylin and its existence in wild-type, non-transgenic mice.

n T2 mice, the mRNA expression of Retn showed a moderate up-regulation (fold change=8.32; p=0.0019) in the adipose tissues. Iapp expression was also significantly up-regulated (fold change=9.78; p=0.012). Moreover, a 6.36-fold up-regulation for Drd5 was observed in the adipose tissues of T2 mice

Data suggest that hybrid insulin peptides (HIPs), formed in insulin-secreting-cells by fusion of insulin C-peptide fragments to peptide fragments of chromogranin A or islet amyloid polypeptide, and reactivity of CD4+-T-lymphocytes to HIPs may act as biomarkers of autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes.

Circulating aggregated amylin accumulates preferentially in male vs. female hearts and its effects on myocyte Ca(2+) cycling do not require diabetic remodeling of the myocardium.

Results suggest that amylin directly acts, through a p-ERK-mediated process, on POMC neurons to enhance arcuate nucleus-paraventricular nucleus alphaMSH pathway development.

These data suggest participation by both soluble and fibrillar aggregates in IAPP-induced islet inflammation. IAPP-induced activation of TLR2 and secretion of IL-1 may be important therapeutic targets to prevent amyloid-associated beta cell dysfunction.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
