© 2015 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc. Background: Human and animal studies have shown associations between insulin growth factor 2 (IGF2) and diabetes. Results: Overexpression of insulin growth factor 2 in β -cells leads to β -cell dysfunction and makes islets more vulnerable to β -cell damage and immune attack. Conclusion: IGF2 may play an important role in the predisposition and development of diabetes. Significance: This study unravels an unprecedented role of IGF2 on physiology of β-cells.
