Terry, Cassandra, White, Kenneth, Hassan, Shahab and Sevcuka, Adriana (2023) Proteins behaving badly: the role of (hIAPP) in type 2 diabetes. Research Outreach: Connecting Science with Society. pp. 1-3. ISSN 2517-7028
Type 2 diabetes is a complex condition. It can result in complications that affect different parts of the body. Currently there is no cure, but there are treatments can manage the condition,although they are not perfect. Our understanding of the condition at the molecular level islimited. Here we summarise the important role of a protein called human Islet AmyloidPolypeptide (hIAPP) in sugar regulation and when it malfunctions, its role in type 2 diabetes.Understanding how this protein works may help with earlier diagnosis and the developmentof medications to manage the condition better.
