| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
CAMSAP1, microtubules |
| Associated microRNA: |
- |
| Biological function: |
Associated with T2D status in islets and also associated with T2D status in peripheral blood (inverse direction compared with islets). |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Correlative; potential link to microtubule dynamics and insulin secretion machinery is discussed without mechanistic proof. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
other pathway/process (other) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation |
| Clinical significance: |
circCAMSAP1 correlates with diabetes status and may have utility as a biomarker for T2D; association observed in peripheral blood. |
| Description: |
circCAMSAP1 is elevated in islets from donors with T2D and is also associated with T2D status in peripheral blood, but in the opposite direction to islets. The paper suggests a possible relationship to CAMSAP1/microtubule-related processes relevant to insulin secretion, while emphasizing the findings are largely correlative. |
