Roles of PKC isoforms in islet function. In diabetes mellitus development, PKCζ activity promotes beta cell proliferation through mTOR activation, while PKCδ promotes dysfunction and destruction of beta cells via iNOS expression and TLR2 signaling. In a type two diabetes model where islets are pre-treated with fatty acids, PKCε is integral to the resulting decrease in insulin secretion.
