Effects of CaMKII-mediated phosphorylation of ryanodine receptor type 2 on islet calcium handling, insulin secretion, and glucose tolerance.

Altered insulin secretion contributes to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. This alteration is correlated with altered intracellular Ca(2+)-handling in pancreatic β cells. Insulin secretion is triggered by elevation in cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]cyt) of β cells. This elevation in [C...
