Disease relevance of Iapp

 

Psychiatry related information on Iapp

  • Peripherally secreted amylin may play a role in the amnesia seen in diabetes and the memory enhancement following glucose administration [6].
 

High impact information on Iapp

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Iapp

 

Biological context of Iapp

  • Here we show that Amylin inactivation leads to a low bone mass due to an increase in bone resorption, whereas bone formation is unaffected [1].
  • Recently, a high affinity amylin binding site was identified in the mouse alpha-TSH thyrotroph cell line [9].
  • The current data demonstrate expression of two biochemically distinct receptor phenotypes in mouse alpha-TSH cells, a CT receptor phenotype and an amylin receptor phenotype that have highly similar protein backbones [9].
  • In cross-linking studies, 125I-rat amylin and 125I-CGRP specifically labeled a major band of relative molecular mass (Mr) approximately 80K, being approximately 10 kDa higher than the major 125I-sCT binding protein [9].
  • Therefore, we conclude (1) that the homologous amino acid sequence within IAPP and CGRP does not seem to be sufficient for inducing inhibition of insulin release in mice and rats and (2) that the possible involvement of IAPP in the pathogenesis of diabetes type 2 still remains speculative [10].

Other interactions of Iapp

  • Although Amylin +/- mice like Amylin-deficient mice display a low bone mass phenotype and increased bone resorption, Calcr +/- mice display a high bone mass due to an increase in bone formation [1].
  • These islets contained not only fully processed IAPP as in PC1/3(+/+) islets, but also elevated levels of a COOH-terminally unprocessed intermediate form, suggesting impaired processing at the COOH-terminus [21].
  • Coexpression of proIAPP and PC2 resulted in production of mature IAPP, whereas in cells that coexpressed proIAPP and PC1/3 only a 6-kDa intermediate was produced [21].
  • Gastrin infusion increased gastric IAPP but not PYY expression [22].
  • Role of carboxypeptidase E in processing of pro-islet amyloid polypeptide in {beta}-cells [23].
