This protein is known also as islet amyloid polypeptide or insulinoma amyloid polypeptide (abbr. and approved gene symbol: IAPP). The name amylin has been proposed by Cooper et al (1988) for a factor of 37 amino acids (KCNTATCATQRLANFLVHSSNNFGAILSSTNVGSNTYamide) known previously as diabetes-associated peptide (abbr. DAP), isolated from islets of Langerhans amyloid (an abnormal deposit of extracellular protein complexes) in noninsulin-dependent (type 2) diabetics, and expressed in islet beta-cells of both normal and type 2 diabetic subjects as well as in insulinomas (Cooper et al, 1987). A synonym for Amylin is IAPP(1-37).
