General description

Islet, or insulinoma, amyloid polypeptide is commonly found in pancreatic islets of patients suffering diabetes mellitus type II, or harboring an insulinoma. While the assosciation of amylin with the development of type II diabetes has been known for some time, a direct causative role for amylin has been harder to establish. Studies suggest that amylin, like the related beta-amyloid (Abeta) associated with Alzheimer′s disease, can induce apoptotic cell-death in particular cultured cells, an effect that may be relevant to the development of type II diabetes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IAPP (islet amyloid polypeptide) is secreted by the pancreatic β-cells along with insulin. IAPP is known to be involved in the regulation of gastric emptying, satiety and inhibiting glucagon secretion. IAPP is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus where IAPP is part of amyloid deposits and is associated with mass and functional loss of β-cells. Oligomers and fibrils formed by IAPP is known to be toxic to the pancreatic islet β-cells.
