Kindlin-2 modulates MafA and β-catenin expression to regulate β-cell function and mass in mice

Beta cell dysfunction and reduction in beta cell mass are hallmark events in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. We identify focal adhesion protein Kindlin-2 as a key factor that controls insulin synthesis and secretion and beta cell mass by modulating MafA and beta-catenin proteins in pancreatic...

Sumario:Beta cell dysfunction and reduction in beta cell mass are hallmark events in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. We identify focal adhesion protein Kindlin-2 as a key factor that controls insulin synthesis and secretion and beta cell mass by modulating MafA and beta-catenin proteins in pancreatic beta cells.
