Physiological Reviews, 2011Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP, or amylin) is one of the major secretory products of β-cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. It is a regulatory peptide with putative function both locally in the islets, where it inhibits insulin and glucagon secretion, and at distant targets.

Islet Amyloid, Islet-Amyloid Polypeptide, and Diabetes Mellitus
New England Journal of Medicine, 1989Islet-amyloid deposits, which are a common feature of Type II diabetes mellitus, are derived from the polymerization of a putative hormone identified as IAPP. IAPP is synthesized by normal islet beta cells and probably is cosecreted with insulin. Although the physiologic function of IAPP and its role in the pathogenesis of Type II diabetes mellitus are

Islet Amyloid Polypeptide and Diabetes
Current Protein & Peptide Science, 2013Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP, amylin) is a 37 amino acid residue hormone expressed mainly by pancreatic islet beta cells and to less extent by some gastrointestinal endocrine cells and by certain regions in central nervous system. In experimental systems a number of different effects have been ascribed to IAPP but the in vivo importance of many of ...
