Perk Gene Dosage Regulates Glucose Homeostasis by Modulating Pancreatic β-Cell Functions

BACKGROUND: Insulin synthesis and cell proliferation are under tight regulation in pancreatic β-cells to maintain glucose homeostasis. Dysfunction in either aspect leads to development of diabetes. PERK (EIF2AK3) loss of function mutations in humans and mice exhibit permanent neonatal diabetes that...
