Islet amyloid polypeptide

UniProtKB accession:  P10997

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Amylin/IAPP is a glucoregulatory peptide hormone that plays an important role in the regulation of energy homeostasis (PubMed:2690069). Selectively inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose utilization and glycogen deposition in muscle, while not affecting adipocyte glucose metabolism. IAPP function is mediated by the CALCR-RAMPs (AMYRs) receptor complexes (By similarity). Amylin can also bind CALCR receptor in the absence of RAMPs, although it is more selective for AMYRs (By similarity).
