What we need in our project

Beginning of Story

  • De-Ming Lin had concluded what a insulin-secretory cell should be from interature review
    • Cells engineered for insulin expression should contain
      • Proteases for insuline or proinsulin or express two chains (A, B) separately (activate insulin)
      • glucose-sensing system (sense glucose)
      • secretory granules that can release insulin promptly by exocytosis in response to extracellular glucose levels

Action plan

  • Chih-Hsien Yang had concluded again in meeting record [http://igem.ym.edu.tw/private_2007/index.php/Regulated_insulin_serection_Team_Meeting_2007/07/16 2007-0716]
