Islet Amyloid Polypeptide Triggers Limited Complement Activation and Binds Complement Inhibitor C4b-binding Protein, Which Enhances Fibril Formation

Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is synthesized in pancreatic β-cells and co-secreted with insulin. Aggregation and formation of IAPP-amyloid play a critical role in β-cell death in type 2 diabetic patients. Because Aβ-fibrils in Alzheimer disease activate the complement system, we have here investi...
