Research Abstract |
We have evaluated the insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cell line and phenotype of the genetically- modified mice for Ube2e2 to explore the role of UBE2E2 in pancreatic beta-cells. Our results indicate that it is important to consider the influence of environmental factor(s), such as age and obesity, to reveal the mechanism(s) how UBE2E2 contribute to conferring susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. We have also identified several candidates for causal variants by a fine- mapping within the UBE2E2 locus.
