INS-1 832/3 Rat Insulinoma Cell Line

Description

• General description: Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) is potentiated by pancreatic beta cells and is critical to the physiological control of blood glucose levels. Insulin secretion is impaired in type 2 diabetes, and insight into the mechanisms and regulation of insulin secretion is fundamental to understanding the roles of beta cells in metabolic disease.
• Cell Line Description: Cancer Cells
• Application: INS-1 832/3 rat insulinoma cell line is a useful model for insulin secretion regulation and pancreatic islet beta-cell function studies.
