Info:
Researchers from Amgen report on a proteolytic enzyme, BACE2, that could potentially have a therapeutic use for treatment of pancreatic amyloid formation caused by Type-2 diabetes. Illumina RNA-seq, with Pippin size selection, was used to test whether BACE would modulate its target proteins in a cellular setting.
