Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We identified a gene of Betagenin = IBCAP as a novel intestinal hormone. Here, we synthesized a betagenin active peptide, and this peptide was found to stimulate DNA synthesis of the MIN6 cell in vitro. And this peptide injection alleviated diabetes in STZ treated diabetic mice. Our findings suggest betagenin as a potential therapeutic target for diabetes.
