Thrilled to share one of our biggest discoveries: “Inceptor binds to and directs insulin towards lysosomal degradation in beta cells”. doi.org/10.1038/s42255-024-0… A tremendous collaborative effort led by @JohannaSiehler, @BilekovaSara and other members of the @LickertHeiko lab.

Inceptor binds to and directs insulin towards lysosomal degradation in β cells

Nature Metabolism - The insulin inhibitory receptor (inceptor) is found to bind to insulin and to regulate insulin stores by directing proinsulin and insulin towards lysosomal degradation.
