Proinsulin atypical maturation and disposal induces extensive defects in mouse Ins2+/Akita β-cells.

Because of its low relative folding rate and plentiful manufacture in β-cells, proinsulin maintains a homeostatic balance of natively and plentiful non-natively folded states (i.e., proinsulin homeostasis, PIHO) through the integration of maturation and disposal processes. PIHO is susceptible to gen...
