Tissue Specificity | Specifically expressed in pancreatic islet cells, in particular those of beta-cell origin. Not detected in testis, kidney, muscle, liver, lung, spleen, brain, pituitary, gastric fundus or heart. |
Post Translational Modifications | N-glycosylated.the non-glycosylated form is more unstable and is degraded through the proteasome. |
Function | May hydrolyze glucose-6-phosphate to glucose in the endoplasmic reticulum. May be responsible for glucose production through glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. |
