Recombinant Human Islet amyloid polypeptide protein (IAPP), partial

1. In conclusion, IAPP/amylin directly interacts with NLRP3 to activate NLRP3 inflammasome, and this interaction could be an attractive drug target to avoid inflammation and beta-cell death during therapy for diabetes, although there are mechanisms in NLRP3 inflammasome and diabetes pathology in human tissues that still require elucidation.

(IL1B = interleukin-1beta; FAS = FAS cell surface death receptor; IAPP = islet amyloid polypeptide) PMID: 28058779
17. Data suggest that single aromatic/hydrophobic amino acid residues within IAPP (islet amyloid polypeptide) amyloid core region are able to control its interaction with amyloid-beta(1-40) or amyloid-beta(1-42) but not IAPP self-assembly; four aromatic/hydrophobic residues are able to control both IAPP amyloid self-assembly and its cross-interaction with amyloid-beta(1-40) or amyloid-beta(1-42).

Data suggest that a single GlcNAc residue at CTR N130 (asparagine 130) is responsible for enhanced affinity of calcitonin for CTR ECD; the same appears to apply for enhanced affinity of amylin for RAMP2-CTR ECD. [GlcNAc = N-acetylglucosamine; CTR = calcitonin receptor; ECD = extracellular domain; RAMP2 = receptor (calcitonin) activity modifying protein 2]. PMID: 28614667
