Disease relevance of Birc2

  • As rIAPP cannot form amyloid fibers, our results show that fiber formation need not be directly coupled to toxicity [1].
 

High impact information on Birc2

  • Here, we report that rIAPP is capable of permeabilizing membranes under conditions that permit rIAPP membrane binding [1].
  • Western blotting revealed that nearly all of the rIAP in the jejunum extracts was rIAP-I, whereas in duodenum the percentage of rIAP-I (55%) correlated with the degree of AP activation (60% relative to that seen with jejunal extracts) [2].
