| UniProt functional annotation for P10997 | |||
| UniProt code: P10997. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Selectively inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose utilization and glycogen deposition in muscle, while not affecting adipocyte glucose metabolism. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with IDE and INS. Can form homodimers. Interaction with INS inhibits homodimerization and fibril formation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17051221, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19475663}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17374526}. | |
| Domain: | The mature protein is largely unstructured in the absence of a cognate ligand, and has a strong tendency to form fibrillar aggregates. Homodimerization may be the first step of amyloid formation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17374526, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19244249, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19475663}. | |
| Ptm: | Amyloid fibrils are degraded by IDE. | |
| Mass spectrometry: | Mass=3936; Method=MALDI; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:17374526}; | |
| Miscellaneous: | IAPP is the peptide subunit of amyloid found in pancreatic islets of type 2 diabetic patients and in insulinomas. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the calcitonin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
