Islet amyloid polypeptide (“amylin”) is the major protein component of amyloid deposits in
pancreatic islets of type 2 (non‐insulin‐dependent) diabetic patients. Islet amyloid polypeptide …

The calcitonin (CT) gene is alternatively expressed in a tissue‐specific fashion producing
either the calcium regulatory hormone CT in the thyroid or the neuropeptide calcitonin gene …

Recently, we have reported the isolation of cDNA encoding a second human calcitonin gene‐related
peptide (hCGRP‐II) [(1985) FEBS Lett. 183, 403‐407]. In this report we describe …

Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is characterised by hyperglycaemia,
peripheral insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion and pancreatic islet amyloid formation. …

Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is the 37‐amino acid peptide subunit of amyloid found in
pancreatic islets of type 2 diabetic patients and in insulinomas. Recently, we isolated the …

Islet or insulinoma amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a 37 amino acid polypeptide isolated from
pancreatic amyloid. Here, we describe the isolation and partial characterization of the human …

The insulin‐like growth factors I and II (IGF‐I and ‐II) are polypeptides which play an important
role in growth and development of the organism. In the present report we describe the …

The gene A protein of bacteriophage ΦX174 has been used in vitro to convert ΦX RFI DNA
into the relaxed RFII form by nicking the viral strand. The nucleotide sequence at the 3′ end …

Amylin is a polypeptide of 37 amino acids, predominantly synthesized in pancreatic Beta
cells. The peptide was suggested to be dysregulated in Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) …
