Background
Amylin, or Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP) P10997, is a 37-residue peptide hormone secreted by pancreatic beta-cells at the same time as insulin (in a roughly 1:100 amylin:insulin ratio). Islet, or insulinoma, almyloid polypeptide (IAPP, or amylin) is commonly found in pancreatic islets of patients suffering diabetes mellitus type 2, or harboring an insulinoma. While the association of amylin with the development of type 2 diabetes has been known for some time, a direct causative role for amylin has been harder to establish. Recent results suggest that amylin, like the related beta-amyloid (Abeta) associated with Alzherimer's disease, can induce apoptotic cell-death in particular cultured cells, an effect that may be relevant to the deleopment of type 2 diabetes.
