Mouse Islet Cells

• Description:

  Research on the Mouse Islet Cells is essential to the study of type 1 diabetes (autoimmune destruction), type 2 diabetes (β-cell dysfunction), islet transplantation rejection, hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, and islet amyloid deposition. The pancreas is an important gland in the digestive system. It is located in the abdomen, behind the stomach. It produces digestive enzymes to assist in breaking down food, and secretes insulin and glucagon to regulate blood glucose. Researchers often study its functions for endocrine disorders, such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The Mouse Islet Cells are to be used with Mouse Islet Cell Medium (Cat. No. ACM0518). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
