Mechanistic Contributions of Biological Cofactors in Islet Amyloid Polypeptide Amyloidogenesis

Type II diabetes mellitus is associated with the deposition of fibrillar aggregates in pancreatic islets. The major protein component of islet amyloids is the glucomodulatory hormone islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP). Islet amyloid fibrils are virtually always associated with several biomolecules, in...
