ABSTRACT:
Expression of beta-TRP is enriched in islet cells. Introduction of expression cassettes encoding beta-TRP into diabetic islet cells improved glucose-stimulated insulin production. Therefore, the invention provides methods of identifying beta-TRP modulators for treating diabetic individuals and introducing beta-TRP into islet cells
