It is essential that new human ß-cell lines be developed and widely distributed in order that physiologically and medically relevant studies on the human insulin promoter can be carried out.

The mammalian OGT gene is located on the X chromosome, and it is known to be essential for early development. However, so far it has not been possible to clarify whether its presence or its catalytic ...
